Let's See Your Milwaukee Road

My lone Milwaukee Road. I have always like the Hiawatha colors. This Weaver has had the Mabuchi 550 motor replaced with a Pittman, ERR Cruise M added along with a Lionel Hiawatha Railsounds board.

A favorite when it comes to electrics...

Tom, those are beauties. I have the tricolor Bipolar but someday want to get the black version. Somehow to me they say Milwaukee Road. My black GE boxcabs made it on the cover of OGR one issue. I had a set of tricolor boxcabs and couldn't afford another set. Then one of the trains shops put the back boxcabs with Rock Island letter on sale. I guess no one wanted them in Rock Island. Got them very cheap, removed the lettering and made them into Milwaukee. Don

Great thread, I’ve always liked the Milwaukee Road color schemes, simply beautiful. Happy Railroading 

Here's a video heavy on Milwaukee Road from my friend, Dr Jack's, layout - the link is here

We did a special run of Milwaukee F7's and they have arrived at MTH - should be here next week.

• MTH 20-21383-1 - F-7 A Unit Diesel Engine "Milwaukee Road" w/ PS3 #83A 
• MTH 20-21383-3 - F-7 B Unit Diesel Engine "Milwaukee Road" #72B (Unpowered)
• MTH 20-21384-1 - F-7 A Unit Diesel Engine "Milwaukee Road" w/ PS3 #84A

This is a little home made wood and metal electric. I made it just for the fun of it. There were no real prototypes. Don

This barn exists somewhere in the Dakotas.  Milwaukee territory!

Some Classic Prewar American Flyer

Here are some more shots of a JAD Hiawatha, after I upgraded the lighting in the cars and loco to LEDs. This is the only Milwaukee Road equipment in my collection. I'd love to find a set of the Phoenix Hiawatha O-gauge cars someday. 

Brian, I had the Railking Milwaukee Hudson when I first started buying MTH engines. I think that Hiawatha was one of the best looking Railking locomotives they ever made. Ended up selling it when I switched to scale. Don

Some Milwaukee Road items from Lionel (F3, Northern), Weaver (Baltic), MTH SW-1), and K-line (Chippewa). The rolling stock is Atlas, Lionel, and Weaver (I think). The switcher is heading up the "roller coaster" to service the homasote  flats breweries.

Beautiful models here. Here are mine, Key Model E6 and Atlas O Sw-12000...

Westbound time freight climbing 1.9% grade to McClelland and Summit Tunnel.

I don't have any model trains of that line, but I do have a lantern. 

RRDOC, Rick, nice to see you guys running overhead wire. Don

And a couple more

You are welcome'... I love the Hiawatha'.. one of the most beautiful locomotives of all time'... I wish I had larger radius curves, the GGDs just won't fit... ☹ Please post another video of your new baby.....😃

Milwaukee's best known breweries are even shipping plenty of beer to keep the clown convention happy!
