I pre-ordered this engine last year along with the cars from the MTH Vol 2 catalog. The engine, combine, RPO and diner cars showed up this week. Still waiting on the five car set. Being a Michigan railroad enthusiast I'm impressed that MTH got the stops along the route of the "Chip" correct. In my running of the engine so far the announcements mention, Chicago, Milwaukee, Green Bay, Channing, Iron Mountain and Ontonagon. I think the colors on this engine are beautiful and a welcome addition to my Hiawatha roster. Although not "prototype" perfect for this engine, I'm glad MTH made this one. Here is a video of some run time earlier today...

Charlie - Sweet! I like the colors.

Nice! And don't you just love the smoke rings those MTH smoke units put out?
I usually paint his Milwaukee engines NYC black but I think I will let this one slide.
