Hey Mike--

Nice start and a fine choice to model!  We at the GMLTC plan to have the Hiawatha
as our signature passenger train.  I am currently smack dab in the middle of my

hands on the Jan 1996 issue of Model Railroader, it has a spectacular foldout
section on the iteration of Hiawatha you are modeling (the streamlined 4-8-4
Hudson).  I am currently working on an 8 wide version of the original engine for
the Hiawatha, a 4-4-2 streamlined Atlantic; maybe I'll post some pics later.  In
the meantime, here is a color pic of the Atlantic:
