The Vision line Hudson is the best ever made. I think this will be the world standard for the Hudson. Can motor, sound, smoke, swinging bell, whistle smoke, and much more. If you are going to be a runner, this is the best ever. Any older Hudson with the old AC motor is not the same.
The old Hudson is just an old Hudsons. Everyone has tried to make a better Hudson. Lionel won that battle with the vision line Hudson. Back in the early 70's I had a 1930 Hudson. It was nothing compared to the locomotives of today. If I had the old one today, it would be for sale.
