While the Hiawatha fleet was well known throughout its home state, perhaps no other Milwaukee Road local was more popular with Wisconsinites than trains 12/23, affectionately known as "The Cannonball." A favorite with commuters from the 1880s to 1972, it served as both a rolling social club, and a great alternative to driving the ever-busier highways between Watertown and Milwaukee. Based on the yellow and gray equipment assigned from 1956 to 1972, this three-car set features:

  • Over 50 factory-installed Preiser figures
  • Silver trucks
  • Disc brakes as appropriate
  • Notched side sills
  • Fixed car steps
  • Later-style ends, w/lift rings and different diaphragms

And includes one each: 85' Milwaukee Road 52-Seat Coach #508 85' Milwaukee Road Tap Lounge #173 85' Milwaukee Road 52-Seat Coach #545
 
PLEASE NOTE: As these cars are the correct prototype length and feature a full underbody to match the prototypes, a minimum 24" radius is recommended.
