MTH 20-3096-1 O Milwaukee Road 4-6-4 Steam Locomotive & Tender w/PS2 #101 LN/Box

This is an MTH 20-3096-1 Milwaukee Road 4-6-4 Steam Locomotive and Tender #101 with Protosound 2.0 from 2002. Inspired by intense competition for passenger service between Chicago and Minneapolis/St. Paul, the Milwaukee Road railroad looked to the American Locomotive Works to design the fastest streamlined locomotive of day. The result did not disappoint. The Twin Cities Hiawatha was first headed by an oil burning 4-4-2. She was the first steam engine design created specifically for intense 100 mile per hour daily operations. Heavy haulage restrictions soon mandated that the 4-4-2s be replaced with bigger locomotives. Enter the F7 4-6-4 Hudson which was capable of even higher speeds. Detailed with colorful Hiawatha livery and streamlined styling, the coal burning Hudson quickly became one of America‘s most famous locomotives. Despite its appearance, the Hiawatha, like all steam engines, proved unable to fight off the inevitable path of dieselisation and eventually faded from the scene in 1946. None were ever preserved. Fortunately, your O Gauge railroad need not be incomplete for the Hiawatha returns to model railroading in our 2002 Premier Line. Die-cast construction and state-of-the-art features, including our remarkable puffing Proto-Smoke system, will ensure that memories of the real thing never fade from our minds. Features include a constant voltage headlight, a precision Pittman flywheel equipped motor, a remote controlled proto coupler, engineer and fireman figures, an operating firebox glow, operating marker lights, a lighted cab interior and ProtoSound 2.0 with the digital command system featuring passenger station proto effects. Please see my photos for a full list of all the features of this item.
