Hello guys and gals.
It been almost a long 2 weeks , almost busy everyday whew !!!!!!!! I been working very hard on this Hudson ( hardest part is stripping the tough 33 year old paint off) and got sick from the fumes of the stripper in last few days. The paint stripper is very toxic and expensive too. I had to buy 2 cans worth at total of 16 dollars and change but hope to never ever use this nasty stuff again and it did a very good job results. I installed the Dallee board and Pittman motor , did the wiring work adding the fire box LED flickering light in orange color (Way cool !!!) and very bright 5MM LED for headlight ! Since the Williams passenger cars are Lionel copies so I added on a water scoop under the tender just like the Postwar streamliner tenders have. It really looks good on this brass tender. This engine really looks old school. I am still working on the air compressors for this engine and other works still need to be done before painting. The painting will be done as the weather permits as its suppose to rain pretty much this week so will have to wait until next week hopefully. I purchased 10 feet of Lionel "super flex" wire and 18 volt LED bayonet base bulbs for the 6 aluminum passenger cars ( Did the Vista Dome car last week with flex wire and LED bulbs) will take photos of the cars soon. It will be a very nice "postwar" style " train. Here are in the photos folks...

Is like a city broken down,
without walls.
