The New York Central (NYC) Hudson is probably one of the most recognizable of all steam locomotives. The Hudsons were the backbone of the great steel fleet that plied the iron between New York and Chicago. It was capable of pulling a large passenger train at more than 100 miles per hour, and headed most of the New York Central's premier trains, such as the 20th Century Limited. The 4-6-4 Hudson evolved from the 4-6-2 Pacific through "superpowering" by adding a larger firebox and the extra trailing truck axle that was required as a result, much at the 2-8-2 Mikado evolved to the 2-8-4 Berkshire. This MTH Premier model is of a NYC Hudson with streamlining designed by Henry Dreyfuss and includes the matching streamlined cars. The prototype took to the rails in 1938 and this model came out at the end of 2000. As you can see in the video, the model is superb, it sounds great and it runs very well. Toward the end of the second segment, you can hear the announcement of the 20th Century Limited as the train pulls into the station.

  • This is my second favorite steam locomotive. My very favorite steam locomotive is the Union Pacific Big Boy. I am looking at getting the rail king imperial version of the Dreyfuss. The cab # is 5449.

  • So EMO :D

  • @xtnt316x whats the lowest price for this beauty

  • Someday I want to visit you at the MTH O gauge model railroad and see how you make your videos.

  • where can i get this engine

  • @MrTrainfanatic Just like the STTRR J1 Hudson 5212

  • how many trains you have??

  • Beautiful. The only thing that would have been even more cool to see was it running at a 100MPH scale speed.

  • nice vid, what camera do you use?
