WalthersProto® Milwaukee Road Twin Cities Hiawatha EMD FP7-F7B LokSound 5 and DCC Set (1956-71 Yellow) - HO Scale

Leading the Twin Cities Hiawatha from 1950 to 1971, the Milwaukee roster boasted 16 FP7-F7B-FP7 sets that easily nudged the century mark whenever schedules demanded!

As the Milwaukee assumed operation of Union Pacific Chicago-Omaha trains in late 1955, yellow and gray became Milwaukee's standard passenger colors well into the 1970s. Various standard appliances were also changed over time, including air horns, radio antennas, pilots and more, while unique Milwaukee touches including "barrel-style" spark arrestors, and sheet metal bug and snow deflectors were also installed. Based on updated units in service from 1955 to 1971, WalthersProto replicas are ideal for Twin Cities Hiawatha service and feature::
