Rather than messing around with a '90s Pullmor hudson why not just get an MTH J1. They all have big Pittmans, spoke drivers, and some even had PT tenders. Then if you want TMCC just gut the electronics and put in ERR. Keep an eye on ebay for wrecked Hudsons or the PS1 20-3020-1 which show up all the time for small money.
From around 2005.

Pete,

I looked at the MTH Hudsons and I have to say, I'm impressed. They have a high level of detailing only the k-line Hudson could top. It appears that they have made three models with the PT tender; the very common PS2 #5274 (as shown above), the rare PS2 5344 with scullin disk drivers, and the new PS3 #5334.

How hard would it be to convert one to ERR TMCC? I have never done this swap of command systems before.
