Presents

Treating passengers to unprecedented levels of luxury and speed, most cars for the Twin Cities Hiawatha service were built in the company's own shops, incorporating features usually found only on luxury overnight trains. Ready for operation or display, this Walthers Proto replica is finished in the standard Milwaukee Road scheme used from 1950 to 1955 with correct period details and features including:

 

  • 1952-1956 Orange and Maroon Cars

    Sporting black roofs inspired by the delivery of the FP7s in 1950, these cars are typical of equipment in service until repaints began in 1955. Correct period details include black trucks with clasp brakes, folded steps, straight side sills and original ends with no lift rings. New features include prototypically tinted windows with gaskets as appropriate, factory-installed grab irons, and modeler-installed extended drawbars for 22" radius curves. All cars are available with a factory-printed name or number (920-9090 to 9098 series), or customize your fleet with a full set of name and number decals included in Standard series cars (920-9080 to 9088).
