Milwaukee Road "Hiawatha" locomotive

What a machine! What a challenge! My first railway model, and made it more difficult for myself by designing the thing to negotiate the 27" radius curves on my friends' railroad layout. It's an homage to old Lionel and Marx tinplate trains, and this model has a clockwork motor fitted which sadly doesn't have enough guts to haul the thing very far - the model is very heavy, being filled with mountboard framing!
