1 1/2" Scale Hudson & Hiawatha at ILS 

I would have loved to see one of the Locomotives in preservation. There's just something about it that really appeals to me

I think this is neat, but I get a chuckle every time I see a big guy riding on a tiny train. lol

Very refined steam mechanism as well as stunning looks .

That locomotive needs to be brought back from extinction.

Beautiful engine.

This could be used as a miniature for a movie!

A small Hiawatha how cute

7:32 kids get a steam blast lol

Love that IC GP38 at the end!

Gorgeous engine! I am really infatuated by the Milwaukee Road's class F7 steam locomotives. Here's what wikipedia has to say about them: "They comprised six (#100-#105) high-speed, streamlined 4-6-4 "Baltic" or "Hudson" type steam locomotives built by Alco in 1937-38 to haul the Milwaukee's Hiawatha express passenger trains. Following on from the success of the road's class A 4-4-2s, the F7s allowed the road to haul heavier trains on the popular Chicago-Twin Cities routes. The F7s are major contenders for the fastest steam locomotives ever built, as they ran at over 100 miles per hour (160 km/h) daily. One run in January 1941 recorded by a reporter for Trains magazine saw 110 miles per hour (180 km/h) achieved twice-in the midst of a heavy snowstorm. Baron Gérard Vuillet, a French railroading expert, once recorded a run between Chicago and Milwaukee where the locomotive reached 125 mph (201 km/h) and sustained an average 120 mph (190 km/h) for 4.5 miles (7.2 km).[1] However, the British locomotive LNER Class A4 4468 Mallard is officially accepted to be the world's fastest, with a run recorded at 126.1 mph (202.9 km/h) in 1938. The Milwaukee F7s are accepted as the fastest steam locomotives by a different measure-scheduled speed between stations. In 1939, shortly after they were introduced into passenger service, the Twin Cities Hiawatha schedule was modified such that the engines would need to run the 78.3 mi (126.0 km) between Portage and Sparta, Wisconsin in 58 minutes-a start-to-stop average of 81 mph (130 km/h).[1] First-built #100 was also the first withdrawn from service, on November 10, 1949; last-built #105 was the final one in service, withdrawn August 10, 1951. All were scrapped." Bummer. It's one of my steam loco fantasies that an exact replica of a Milwaukee Road Hudson F7 gets built and does a test run that breaks the verified Mallard steam loco record. I'm sure it happened that this loco ran faster than the 126 mph record but we will probably never know.

I really do miss seeing this Hiawatha Hudson at LALS. I remember back in the day before Russ had it shipped out of SoCal. I really miss seeing it pull the Pullman cars on Sunday at LALS 🙁

That is one of the most awesome trains I have seen on this channel so far. and the second car looks like it is made of Lego

Amazing! And to think that I thought Mamods and Wilesco's were expensive! Great video!

Wow ! Splendid trains, and engines...Each and every one. Thanx for great video... ( I play old, original records & classic TRAIN songs on channel you may enjoy ! But trains have always been my love...Jimmie Rogers train music coming soon !

Maravilhoso. Estas réplicas perfeitas são o sonho de qualquer apaixonado por ferrovia. Parabéns pessoal da White Creek Railroad. (Wonderful. These perfect replicas are the dream of any railroad enthusiast. Congratulations staff of the White Creek Railroad.)

If only there were plans available

Awesome

Thank you for the information. 🇦🇺🇦🇺

Very awesome!

Hello

This is so cool !

was surprised to find people in USA who are involved with steam as in the UK....c heck t his guy, mrcrispin he is a 20 year old machinist at Rolls Royce and he is working on building his own locol

ivd never seen something like THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish u would do a video wit dat train at 1:12 cause got damn she's gorgeous.

Great design.....

Very nice Steam engine!

The Hiawatha was a whole train, not just a steam engine.

Joe,....the Propane fuel is burned, heating the water into steam, which is used to propel the steam locomotive.

sweet!!

Do you guys custom build those trains or buy them?

They should rebuild an original full sized one. They did it in England.

Ugh, the last fellow, even if it his engine, really distracting that he’s smoking next to a fuel tank like that.

what a beautiful Hudson but why give her an incorrect number. Just wondering

i want this at my home brother

Hey, Is this engine still out there? I recall it having many many many issues. Did the owner sell it on or move or is it being rebuilt?

can you guys do a how to run a diesel engine video and a how to run a steam engine using propane video someday

How much do they buy these steam engines? What are the price ranges of these tings? They got to be very expensive

Any updates on the status of the Milwaukee Road F7 engine? Would really like to see it running at any live steam events this year.

I knew the Hudsons and Hiwathas weren't extinct

Where is that place

Please tell me how much a train like he is driving costs. I would like to get one for my mother if not just something to collect. Thanks

The hiawatha is beautiful, but I prefer the class A atlantic type hiawathas #1, 2, 3, and 4.

Looks like a hobby that requires your full attention, not to be taken lightly.

where is this? I want to go there and volunteer!

What is the propoane can for?

What gauge is this

Hawatha when in use was a trouble and in this scale model too seems a trouble

c'mon , let that locomotive go faster

Someone stole trucks
