That standard gauge Hiawatha set has got to be the ultimate in new production standard gauge and it looks super on your layout. Do yo have any pictures of the interior of the passenger cars ?

Now that you have the Hiawatha set do you think that will give you the itch to get the Commodore Vanderbilt set also. Smile

Oh Great!!!! I waited a few years to get the Hiawatha. I finally get it and right away you put the Commodore in my head now. Just great! Big Grin

I'm really impressed with the quality of this set. It is so much nicer than the MTH standard gauge sets. Fit and finish are great. Inside the engine the electronics are neatly put together. Plus each car is different, even the roofs, which means separate tooling was required for each car. All the doors are spring loaded, unlike the MTH models that flap open.

I also like the fact that they made the cars with four wheel trucks instead of six. This means less rolling friction. The cars also track better. I was able to back this set up thru 042 curves, all 11'-8" of it with no problem. I can't do that with my MTH state set.

I wish Lionel was able to keep this line going.

Here are some poor quality pictures of the cars. The only negative comment I have is that I don't like that they used plastic tables and seats in the cars.











Just a question but does the electric rr cruise work well was thinking about installing one in my Mth Stephen Girard 9e don't know if a ac/dc tmcc or cruise kit with rail sounds will work and have any good reviews Nice set Joe I always thought about getting that set or the Vanderbilt set now have to put it on my bucket list
