Very nice score on the Ultimate Hoge steam set and in such pristine condition. I own the Hoge 900 streamliner, which I adore and had to have after seeing one on a Dave's train night, featuring Streamliner trains. I always new this 1000 set and the circus set would be unobtainable, so I don't bother even looking for one, given how expensive they would be if found. We all look forward to seeing this beauty run, so don't keep us in suspense for too long. Congratulations on adding this to your great collection. Stewart
Yep, I saw the 900 first time at Dave's. I found a complete set with track for cheap. It was not working, and the frames were tweaked. It runs like a rocket now. I love it.
YESSSSSSS I remember seeing one on Etsy of all places but never bought it, iv only ever seen one in person at a local TCA meet and it FLEW! Thank you Chuck!
You are correct big lizard. I have never seen this Hoge set before. It's a thing of beauty. Gorgeous shape for what it is. Congrats on crossing another thing off the bucket list.
Very rarely does one run across a complete Hoge 1000 with such nice paint and chrome. The side rods are usually broken and the vestibules are also usually missing.
Enjoyed much Chuck would sure like to see your other HOGE that you mentioned. We used to call submarine sandwiches Hoges when I was a kid in the New England area.

Excellent find they also made a streamline set that vaguely resembled the Union Pacific M10000
Yes, I found one 14 years ago. ruclips.net/video/hPNNZQt2850/видео.html
A thing of beauty is a joy forever. What a great find!
Hoge looks great. I had no idea it need specific track.
It does not need specific track, just wider corners than my O-31 track. HOGE sold banked track so you could run the train faster without it derailing.
That’s an absolutely beautiful train set! I’ve seen some Hoge trains before but never this set. Love it, thanks for sharing.
Most impressive Chuck! I love the styling on that engine.
Beautiful Train 🚂 love to see that Hoge track thanks Chuck! Hope all is well

Thank You Chuck, that is quite unique never seen one!
First one I have seen, thanks for the video and information.
Now that is truly a rare train and in beautiful condition.

Hi Chuck, great acquisition. Good luck with it.
That is such a spectacular catch Chuck! It’s a bit frustrating not being able to run it now but you’ll make it work I’m sure!
Chuck, that is a beautiful locomotive, this is my first time seeing one.
Enjoyed much Chuck would sure like to see your other HOGE that you mentioned. We used to call submarine sandwiches Hoges when I was a kid in the New England area.
Nice looking train can’t wait to see you running her 😊👊
Never seen one of these did not know they existed.
Pretty cool train, Chuck. What a quirky set. Why have I never heard of these before? How did you ever stumble upon it?
Nice collection
Never seen one, or heard of "Hoge". Are you sure its pronounced "Hoagie" Looks like you would say that with out the "E" like "hoag."
