I don't run my conventional Lionel GP9 Milwaukee Road very often, but now I have some MTH Milwaukee Road passenger cars to go with it. |

Beautiful set of Milwaukee Road pasenger cars, Denny. The colors are some of the best in our hobby. |

Beautiful set of Milwaukee Road pasenger cars, Denny. The colors are some of the best in our hobby. Absolutely!!!! And they don't look too shabby in Standard Gauge tinplate either. Hate to say goodbye to this 4-car set, but there's only so much display space available.   P.S. At least I'll be keeping my O-Gauge Milwaukee Road passenger car set... the cars that were cataloged with the #261 steam locomotive, and then delivered about 2+ years later.  Almost thought we'd never see them. Lionel never did make a StationSounds diner for the set, so I'm using the Lionel heavyweight StationSounds diner that matches perfectly. |

That StationSounds is fantastic. I bought a set of PRR StationSounds diner and passenger car at York. I just happened to walk up on a booth in the Orange Hall that had them for a real decent price. I use them with my PRR Legacy Tuscan K4. |

Hey Denny, those look great. We picked up the MTH Milwaukee Road Passenger Cars w/grey roofing to go behind our Lionel AA E6 set and the grey is an awesome color match. Bonus.
Enjoy,
Gary.

Beautiful train Denny. I never run conventionally but I'd have to make an occasional exception for a set like yours.

Thanks Joe. I hardly ever run conventional, but I'm in the mood to run them. I'm running my Golden State set and Rock Island engines which are both conventional at the club tomorrow and I'm also running my K4 and SD40 which are both Legacy.
I always get there early before any arrives so I can run on both tracks. If anyone comes than I run the Legacy on one track.
Gary, sounds great. Are you going to post photos?

Denny, I will keep the MW Road E6's unboxed for a while as I really like the color scheme. I will also unbox the passenger cars for pics as well. I have to do a reorg in the basement anyway so I'll dig them out. Gary. |

Love the Milwaukee Road, Denny! That's a nice commuter consist you have there. The beautiful Chicago, Milwaukee, St.Paul & Pacific will be a main feature along with the Pennsylvania RR when I build The Penn American Railroad in the near future.
It was great seeing you at York!

It was great seeing you too. Before I joined the forum going to York was about the trains. Now train have become secondary and seeing all the forum members took lead. Even Bob and the fellow who came with had a blast being around other modelers. Especially at the dinner. I bought those cars in the Orange. When I got home I added people that I bought in the Orange Hall. Milwaukee Road has become one of my favorite. |
