Thank You for your concerns, I really mean it, about The engine just recently I ran The engine with all 8 cars and although the engine was slow (app. 15 Scale mph) She did pull them

Does that Hudson have the pullmor motor?

[319FBMZ319]

I believe so.

I have one of these as well.  Best I can do is 5 scale lionel 18 inch passenger cars at a reasonable speed, with 6 it crawls. The cars draw a lot of current from the bulbs... I think 4 bulbs per car. I also can not get more that about 16V to the track. It run better will the Kline 15 inch aluminum cars and stream lighting...

Maybe your motor needs to be cleaned and have new motor brushes and brush springs installed. Its very easy to do. It probably would help if it needs it.

Dang I figured it would pull more cars, but its an old style motor nontheless.

I got it to pull a bit more. I think the cars & tender needed some oil. The tender is incredibly heavy too. I'm not sure why it can't pull all 8 I tested it with the 8 cars and it seemed like it had the power but it just crawled.
