Description
Railroad Short Name: MILW
Milwaukee Road (MILW) “Delivery 1977 Yellow” replicates Milwaukee Road’s order of 20 cars built in September of 1977. Proudly advertising “America’s Resourceful Railroad,” this federal yellow scheme is a classic. The models feature End-Of-Car Cushioning and a body-mounted brake system correct for these later orders from Greenville. There is a lot to see on the underframe, with all that brake linkage hanging down low and carefully duplicated on the model. These cars also feature the auxiliary crank arms at the top center of each door – these prototypes were delivered with this detail. The model has an accurate brake stand and modern brake wheel, along with see-through Gypsum crossover platforms.
