Reply to "Would You Buy a Milwaukee Road 4-6-0 Northwoods Hiawatha?"

I have a Milw streamlined 4-4-2. That's enough streamliners for me. I grew up 400 yards from a very busy Milwaukee Road line from Rondout to Fox Lake, IL and then to Walworth WI from 1946 to the end of steam. I saw 0-6-0s, 4-6-0s, 4-6-2s, 2-6-2s, 2-8-2s, 4-6-4s and 4-8-4s. They were all workaday black engines. I NEVER saw a streamstyled steamer. Even the Olympian Hiawatha was hauled by a diesel. I would much rather have a plain G6 or G8 ten wheeler than a streamlined ten wheeler. In fact if one were being made now I'd grab one. Odd-d
