Perhaps no other railroad has ever been as closely associated with a locomotive as the New York Central is with the J-class Hudson. By the mid-1920s, it became clear that NYC needed an engine that could reliably pull heavier passenger trains than anything they had available. They charged their engineering department with designing a locomotive with greater starting effort and more horsepower at speed that was still within the weight and size limitations dictated by the railroad's existing bridges and clearances. The ALCO-built 4-6-4 Hudson that resulted was a resounding success, pulling both passenger and freight trains over NYC lines. The beautiful engine proved so popular with railfans, photographers, and the public at large that NYC used it to advertise their passenger service. In an era when passenger trains were luxurious ways to travel, the NYC Hudson was the class of the field. It is M.T.H.'s pleasure to make this beautifully detailed 1:32 scale model of a NYC J-3a Hudson available to garden railroaders everywhere. The engine will look as stunning pulling your freight or crack passenger trains as the celebrated prototype did. It is available with the long list of features shown. Pull-out fact: The J-3a "Super Hudsons" out-performed the J1-class by 20%. In fact they were so super that their initial 275 lbs of steam pressure was so strong it bent rods, so pressure was reduced to 265 lbs.

Shipping
I do combine shipping when possible. Sometimes items are too large or fragile to put together. Please email me for items desired and your location.
I will work with you to get the lowest cost.
If for some reason the shipping cost seems unreasonable, please email to see if it’s correct...
the shipping calculator is sometimes wrong and I occasionally make an error on the size or weight.
I ship USPS or FedEx. Smart Post, which is a combination of FedEx and the USPS, is usually the least expensive for large items or you are located far away.
FedEx picks these up and the USPS delivers them. With that low cost though, you get very slow service.
Shipping to the West Coast could take 7-10 business days…it’s very slow but an inexpensive choice if you are not in a hurry.
