@Jim R. posted:The four Hiawatha Atlantics did indeed haul the later 1938 cars, as depicted in Lionel’s 2006 set. The Hiawatha Hudsons took over afterward. All this is referenced in Jim Scribbins’ book, “The Hiawatha Story.”
But I’m glad Weaver released models of the first Hiawatha train, which matched the Atlantics’ styling cues more exactly. (The Hudsons were a better match for the 1930 ribsided cars.

Yup They did Pull the Ribbed cars, 4 years after the initiation of Hiawatha service! The F7 shrouded 4-6-4's were Intended (designed) to pull the New 1938 series ribbed cars.
