I was looking around and found a Lionel 6-28044 Hudson for sale. It didn't have much information listed and it isn't listed on the Lionel website, so I did a search and I've pieced the following info together, mainly from old auctions, so I'm not sure of the accuracy of the information.
It appears this is a semi-scale Hudson (also referred to as a "baby" Hudson - 21" long) with a can motor and signal sounds and command upgradeable. It looks like it was part of the 2000 6-21956 New York Central Freight set. Interestingly, Lionel had a similar set the same year with the only difference being conventional railsounds, with the set number being 6-21988 and the Hudson 6-28065.
Is anyone familiar with these Hudson locomotives or similar vintage as far as looks, operation, problems, etc.? Easy to upgrade? What would you think is a fair price? I operate traditional size trains, conventional and command control, so I am interested in a baby Hudson or a Hudson jr.rather than the large more scale Hudson models.
Thanks.
