Description This past weekend I was an exhibitor with my club at the World's Great Hobby on Tour show which was here in Houston at NRG arena.  I took plenty of pictures while I was there including this curious thing which was on display in Lionel's booth.  Clearly it's a Milwaukee Road S3 class 4-8-4, but I've never seen one done in the Hiawatha scheme before.  Doesn't look too bad although I think they could've gone a little darker on the gray.  This engine is O scale.

Now that's something. I will say it's not unusual to me though. I've seen an NYC Niagara painted up in Union Pacific two-tone grey.

Here's something for you.

Looks kinda nice, I'll admit.

Overall, the paint scheme is very nice.  I just wish the gray was a little darker.  Meh, whatever.  I also noticed that over at Trainworld, this is on preorder... for $1,530!  Yeah, I'll just go order three of 'em right now.

You do that, 5000$ seems like a good investment into a fictional Milwaukee engine.

I went to the World's Greatest Hobby on Tour show when it was in Charlotte, NC.

Well, in the catalog, Lionel did say it's a "what if" paint scheme. I'm sure they'll darken the gray before they start shipping these to dealers.
