Video of Lionel Standard gauge Hiawatha and other scenes

Very nice!! Beautiful layout and accessories too. 

Chug,

Very interesting that you did that this weekend because I did as well. Here are some of my videos.

The Lionel dual can motor drive with six drive wheels should be the industry standard for Hudson SG locos. Now how about an unstreamlined J1-E?

I was very pleased with my Lionel SG Hiawatha and CV Hudsons!

Or a Camelback.  

Joe,

I'm unable to watch your videos, because I get a message that they are private?

I have this set as well and it's truly beautiful. It's been displayed but have been unable to run it. I was looking forward to watching the videos, but none seem to play for me. Anyone else having issues viewing them? Or is it just me?

I'm getting the same message from Joe's videos. The Hiawatha is beautiful!

Same here. Audio only with Eric's video, private only with Joe's.

Same here? 

I just checked my Hiawatha video and no picture when played through my email link, but logged into the OGR site, it seems to play just fine.

That's odd indeed, Eric. Just checked it again and it's still a no show...sounds great though.

I can see and hear Eric's just fine, but Joe's are a no show.

That's really strange, Dave. I still can't see Eric's.

Can't see here either.

I changed the settings on the videos. They should work now.

They work great, now!! Thanks. What a couple of beasts!! Love 'em!!!

work fine Joe...those look great!

I am not much into tinplate or Standard gauge  but I have to say those are 2 really beautiful trains especially the Milw Rd Hi. I can see why you have them .

Joe,

I too enjoyed your video! very nice layout and you had the good sense to run your Hiawatha more slowly to good effect. I note that we have the same Blue Comet poster on the wall.

Eric

Yes, that poster is hard to find now. Here is another slow one of the Blue Comet.

Thank you for posting the nice photos and videos of your layouts . The Hiawatha is a beautiful train ... Lionel's first "new" standard gauge design since 1933 with the 385.   At the $2200.00 retail price and it's "more" prototypical look it frightened some potential buyers off ...causing a flooding of the market    of unsold sets and a slashing of prices .  I think Lionel over estimated the market for a new designed standard gauge train.   Does any one know the production numbers produced of the Hiawatha and Commodore sets?

 The set was sold with 4 cars which makes for a very impressive and long train for mere mortals with home layouts ...but check out the below links of the 2011 SGMA layout in Pittsburgh ...and see how wonderful an eight car train looks on a really big layout ... notice engine has no problem pulling  the load .

Note all the other wonderful "modern" era standard gauge being run and displayed .

Last link an incredible layout near Allentown ..that was featured on the 2014 TCA layout tours ....   wait for the photogenic run- bys  of the various Standard Gauge giants ..including the   Hiawatha .

Cheers Carey
