Here is the pic of the motor.  I got the Hudson this way as a parts engine, the floor of the cab has been ground away leaving only the back edge where the drawbar pin goes in.  Even on 42" diameter, anything less that perfect flat causes the rear trailing truck wheel to hit the spinning commutator on the motor!  Attached below is a picture of that motor.   Yes, Gargraves still makes the 3 foot flex track sections in both 3 and 2 rail, along with prebent, wood tie curves for 42, 54 and 72 inch diameter curves in both 2 and 3 rail.  What we Lack is matching switches to go with the track, especially 3 rail.
