[snip]        This allowed me to get the locomotive I wanted without having to buy the whole set.

I may have been a very small minority of the 25 who ordered Pat's Hudson, who really wanted the class lights.

Skip,  the two sentences that I have quoted from your post describe my situation exactly, so you are in the minority, but it is not a minority of one.   

Just as a reference, in this thread where Pat announced his uncatalogued custom run, there are two pictures (.png files, these are in the attachments section, not in the body of the post), screen shots of a PDF file illustrating what his custom run Hudson would look like.  The first picture clearly shows that the engine is to be built with classification lights on the engine's boiler front and that a second boiler front was to be included that did not have classification lights.  (I did not repost the pictures here to avoid any copyright issues.)

Lionel did not produce the engine as illustrated. They did not produce J3A Hudson #5413 as catalogued either.  Documented here.  

[ETA]  Since 5413 was catalogued with mixed drivers, I did not want it at that time.
