@Dave Koehler posted:Just a note Weavers pairing the A class 4-4-2 with the 19934 cars is at least correct . Since Lonel's first production of the Hiawatha in the 1930's to its last one. they never did get it right!
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 1938 ribsided cars.)
