Lou1985 posted:I bought another project from my secret source. MTH Premier Santa Fe 3460 class Hudson 3464. It's never been run but is missing all the electronics and smoke unit. It just has the 9434 Pittman motor and drivetrain in the shell. It's a combination of 3464's shell and front truck with 3463's drive wheels and rear truck, which don't have white wall tires. No matter as I'll be removing the white walls from the front truck. This is going to be a Frankenstein project with the tender shell being from a Lionel 3751 class Northern (the final rebuild 3751 class Northerns used the same 20k gallon water capacity tender as the 3460 class Hudsons) and the chassis, trucks, and toolboxes coming from a MTH Premier Blue Goose Hudson (the Blue Goose was a streamlined 3460 class Hudson). Everything will be PS3 controlled when it's done. I'll be taking pictures as I go through the project and I'll start a post with all the pictures when it's done. Should be a fun project after the holidays. This is my 3rd Premier Santa Fe 3460 class Hudson. I already have 3463 and 3460 (The Blue Goose). Needless to say I like this model.
And I thought NYC had some big hudsons.They got nothingon the santa fe locomotives.I have a railking santa fe northern ps3.I like santa fe steamers where oil burners.Being I am in the south east part of the country.There were a few railroads on the eastern seaboard that had oil burner steam locomotives.One that I know of Seaboard Air Line had a few that served my home town of monroe n.c.Its now CSX.I sure some one say a few other railroads.But I am only speaking Seaboard here.I have a few Mohawks(mountain type in the southeast)I am going to do some work on the tenders to oil tenders.
