I used to set up track on the floor and drag race my trains about 40 feet back in the 50s. I used to strip parts off to make them quicker but I always put them back together.
They saw a lot of use but I respected the fact that they were great trains and I kept them to this day. My kids and now grandkids thought think those trains are great. A setup is going together for Christmas. I don't think that is a Hudson in the video
@dv713 your right its not the great 700e didnt come untill 1937 & 1938 then the 763 hudson was out after that just about untill ww2 im working on getting a postwar 1950-51 773 hudson set there big bucks and theres not a whole lot of them out there
That deliberate crash makes me cringe. My 1952 set almost flipped off of my 4 foot tall table the other day in my garage, my heart skipped a few beats! Good thing it didn't though!
I had a 1955 set, we would stack up books,and run them off the cliff at full speed. We were just kids playing,with no idea of the future value of these trains, it was a toy and back then all your toys eventually broke,so we didnt really respect these trains as much as we should have.
Back then, they where toys, and you had fun with them. They where built for abuse in most cases, but alot of which, just to run and be played with. If I may, that set doesnt look like a hudson set?
That made me cringe, too. Just one step from torturing animals.

From appearance, it may be a 260E Lionel. That would place the film between 1930- 1939

This just doesn't seem very 1935-ey to me.

Was that a small flame that I saw when it crashed the second time?

looks like a 262E locomotive with 607-8 pullmans, not a Hudson. The crashes I donot like.

I can identify with you trainkids, my friends always saw humor in in my mishaps with model trains.

It's cool and all, but it just sickens me to see trains being crashed on purpose like that.
