Where to start for total beginner.

I would go down to a local hobby shop and pick up an Athearn train set. They have a couple of different roadname out there. While the engine rolling stock you get aren't considered top of the line, they are way better than the WalMart, toy store train sets. This will give you an idea of a good quality running engine set. Also load up on magazines. You'll find over time you will start to aquire other manufacturers engines because word of mouth on them says they are better or whatever. <br /> <br />As for something as specific as the Milwaukee Road Hiawatha, you gonna have to search long and hard. I suspect it will be a while and a few engines before you aquire something that is truely worth passing onto the next generation. <br /> <br />I'm suggesting you start simple and work up to the ultimate set of engines and rolling stock. Stay away from the cheap train sets, they could discourge you very easily. <br /> <br />
