The Hudson in question is now in for repair because a component on the the RailSounds board failed. I will also have Dave Siburn fix the valve gear. Sorry I missed this when we were shooting the pictures for the April Collector's Gallery.
The LionMaster Hudson is a great locomotive if you are running traditional sized equipment behind it, which is why I am having it fixed it to run on my layout.
The tooling for the LionMaster Hudson was made in Korea, and they did a superior job of selectively proportioning the model in a less-than-scale size.
