Beautiful consist, Arnold. In the early 80’s, I was uninformed about the history of the B&A… had I known it was, at one time, part of the NYC - one of my favorites - I might have purchased one. I did get the NYC 783 from the same period and the slightly later NYC 785. One question - I love the two NH boxcars (no surprise there)… are they post war??? Somewhere in the basement I have 2 PW NH boxcars which look quite similar.

Paul, the black NH boxcar is postwar; the orange double door NH boxcar is modern.

The B&A Hudson is one of my favorite locomotives. The one in my video is a Lionel conventioal made in the mid to late 1980s. It's a little too peppy. Would love to get one with speed control (PS2 or 3, LC+ or Legacy) that runs on 031 curves, but that may never have been made. I think it may have been made for wider curves. But that won't work on my layout. They may have made a TMCC that runs on 031, but that is not ideal for me because I don't have TMCC installed on my layout yet. Arnold
