Awseme looking and sounding engine. I enjoyed watching the engine pulling the passenger cars with Station sound diner car. I punches a Santa Fe U28cg with fright cars in 2006. I believe in 2006 Lionel came out with Intelligent Crew Talk in the MTCC Control System. The next year they came out with the Legacy Control System. I'm glad I purchase my S.F. U28cg set. Thanks for sharing. Greetings Nick from New Jersey
This set looks great on your layout! I am not sure if Lionel will ever do this set in Legacy so I decided to pick it up for my collection a few years ago. I know they will not do these exact Passenger Cars again since they are no longer making aluminum passenger cars. I have debated about having the engine upgraded to for better speed control, the chuff and smoke to make it more Legacy like but that might be a future project! Very nice video!
kstrains Thank you. It’s my understanding as well that Lionel will not be making passenger cars in aluminum. These are superb. I’m debating upgrading the lighting with LEDs. However, I rarely run the set for fear I’ll do something stupid, like drop one, do I’m debating doing it. I am looking for the white paint used to outline the wheels. I have a few spots that need touch up.
Great looking set, that crew talk sounds a bit weird to me though. I'm hoping Lionel will bring out a revamped class a or class f7 and some matching 21" passenger cars to go with it. The beautiful shine on the locomotive and cars is something you don't see much but it really completes this set. The shine gives the essence of a new sleek cutting-edge passenger train that cuts through the air, much like how the streamlined Hiawatha trains were designed to be when they were first introduced.
Awesome! what radius are you using? I'm considering picking this engine up, but my largest loop is O48 and the specs call for O54, sometimes Lionel over rates the min curve.
My loops are O-72 and O-60. I wouldn't hazard a guess as to whether it will run on O-48. You might check with the folks on the OGR Forum. ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/ Good luck. Thanks for the comment and subscribing.
Always wanted a Lionel Hiawatha set. But even 35 yrs back when I was collecting and running Lionel, they were waay too expensive. Still love Lionel trains, but out of my retired budget.
Hi Ed's Trains / What state are you located? if I recall you said Michigan. This is a very nice locomotive, with all the sounds and passenger cars. Cool 😎 • Cheers from The Detroit & Mackinac Railway 🚂
Googled "Milwaukee Hiawatha 3." Search returned: "The Twin Cities Hiawatha ran on the railroad's main line from Chicago and Milwaukee to St. Paul and Minneapolis. Originally only five intermediate stops were made between Milwaukee and St. Paul. Later other stops were added, as well as Glenview, Illinois between Chicago and Milwaukee. When the Hiawatha began in 1935 about half the line had cab signaling that lit white, green, or red lights in the locomotive cab. A whistle would sound if the red signal came on.[11]" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_Cities_Hiawatha Hope this helps.
I even have a starship in Star Trek Online that actually resembles the locomotive in a loose way. Cross between the Enterprise structure and this locomotive. No doubt what it’s name is! USS Hiawatha.
Googled the question: Built by the American Locomotive Company in July 1944, the 261 was originally operated by the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. ... The locomotive, weighing 460,000 pounds, is rated at a maximum of 4,500 hp and maximum speed of 100 mph is coal fueled. It had a 3 chime whistle and airhorn mounted on it.Jun 2, 2017
In my opinion this is the greatest model train ever
No kidding! You and me both! 🚂

Nick L Trains Thanks for the commet! My next video will show my first Legacy purchase.
@@Boscoed1 Great, I will check it out. Nick
First time I heard of this loco was when I was 10 and saw an HO scale version. I plan to get one some day. They’re fantastic!!!! 🚂
Beautiful Set (:
I agree. It is beautiful. I feel fortunate to have it in my collection. Thanks for commenting.
Beautiful, Nice work!! Thank you for sharing

Thank you. Yeah, Lionel's crew talk often draws comment. I agree, this is just an exceptional set.
Thx Ed!
Welcome. We need to arrange that FaceTime session with Fred, next week if possible.

glad they used a horn but they didnt have cab radio's back then

trainroomgary Thanks Gary.
Gary, thanks for the comment, I live in Bristow, VA.
@@Boscoed1 Thanks: Got it 🚂
I here a squeaking sound whenever we are next to the locomotive. I am hoping there is not a problem with the locomotive.
Thanks for watching. Assuming you’ve lubricated it as recommended by Lionel, the sound you hear may be from the smoke generator.
cool cool cool
Thanks for watching and commenting. I agree.... :-D
I wish America will build a replica of this beautiful steam engine
That would be very nice....I agree.
i thought the class 4-4-2 hiawatha had just a horn

Does a Milwaukee road class a have a whistle?

@@Boscoed1 Not the s3 I'm talking about the 4-4-2 class A streamlined Hiawatha.
And I tried to Google it.
let me know if you even might want to sell the set
Michael, I’m sure some time in the future I may (1st dibs to my Grandson, of course 😁). But, not anytime soon. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Michael, I see you are a member of the OGaugeRR Forum. If you like, email me and I'll keep your name as one to call first.
thanks, I will send you and email as soon as I find you on the OgaugeRR
would the Real 4-6-4 Hiawatha.
