Guys,
With York just around the corner, who is has some old pictures to post so I can fawn over the coolness of those ultra modern looking trains! Remember them they were cool even before Star Trek!

C'mon guys!
You're not the only one who can have an orgasm of excitement for the Milwaukee Road!! I launched a jihad with many others to get the 261 made. And I'm up to my eyeballs in Milwaukee pre-orders....Little Joe, FP45, etc...
Feel better? 
MTH is releasing some Milwaukee Road items this month. Wait for those to arrive.

Aren't they sleek, I was especially looking for pictures of those strange windows on the end observation car!

Got a real MR fix today when I opened up the Weaver Gold Edition Morning Hiawatha passenger car set that I just acquired. 
WOW! Beautiful.
Pix Paul!!!
did anyone ever make these in 15"?

As far as I know, none of the three prototype Hiawatha sets with the Beaver Tail observation cars have ever been done in 15" length. The only 18" Beaver Tail I have seen is the maroon and orange ribside from Lionel. Weaver has done all three in scale size
The only other 0 gauge 3-rail Beaver Tail I've ever seen was this oddity from an outfit called Phoenix Models, which is better known for fluted stainless streamliners. I don't recall the length, but I think it was 18". As you can see from the photo, it resembles the original but lacks scale fidelity. I got this photo from a guy who offered to sell me the set, and this is the only one I've ever seen or heard of.
