Steve, I like all three.
Just paid my invoice on the Milwaukee Road A-B set. Waited 2 1/2 years for this release, looks like it was worth the wait and looking forward to getting them!

Those Milwaukee Roads look great. What are you going to run with them??

Probably freight. What do you suggest?

It looks like mixed freight to me. There are a bunch of pics online showing a wide variety of freight cars in the consist. They ran these engines into the 80's so you have a lot to work with.
There were FP7 passenger engines that Milwaukee had but I don't believe they were in the this paint scheme. I know the north line from Chicago to Fox Lake F7's with the UP color scheme.
@Stinky1 posted:MTH is supposed to include a short dummy coupler in the box that pulls the units closer together. When installed it looks much better. The reason the gap is so large is because the powered units have elctrocouplers from factory.
Thanks Stinky1 for answering my question,

I remember seeing these engines while growing up in Lake County Illinois and traveling to Wisconsin. I recall them pulling freight. So this set was a must have for me.
These look great.
