>> Speaking of the Northern, it has freshened tooling from the Gilbert offering. I'd like to see the Hudson get the same treatment. <<
Actually, the L-AF Northerns are made using all new tooling except for the pilot, which is the only Gilbert carryover piece. Although modified along the way, much of the original Gilbert tooling for several of the classic die cast steam engines, such as it still exists, dates from before WW2.
