A 10 car standard gauge Olympian Hiawatha consist? Our language needs a new word for SPECTACULAR! Photos PLEASE!

I agree! We need a new word!

If Jim Waterman doesn't post photos I will right after I receive the cars from him. Jim has matched the paint scheme for the cars with the orange/maroon/black livery used on the MTH/Lionel Super 381 since the bipolar was used to pull the train over the electrified sections of the Milwaukee Road's mainline to the Pacific.

However, I would love to also have an Erie-built diesel locomotive to pull the consist since that was the original locomotive used to pull the Olympian Hiawatha over the non-electrified sections of the Milwaukee Road's mainline to the Pacific. Does anyone know if one has ever been made in Standard Gauge? If not, maybe I (we) can talk Jim into printing up an Erie-built shell for me (us).
