Zachariah, your exactly correct, the K-Line hudson is a much newer made model, not the nostalgic 700 E mold, not at all apples to apples, however, I was making a point that folks like Pat, Harmonyards, CEO, Harmon Yards Shops, can take this particular hudson, rebuild it from an average run of the mill locomotive, to a Stallion, a beautiful, stump puller, with realistic headlight, chuff sounds, a powerful smoke system, and the big Pittman motor. I’ve had three VL Hudsons, I just wasn’t thrilled with them, but after Pat rebuilt my K-Line hudson, it has become my favorite. $750 versus $1500, it’s a no brainer, but, it’s all a fun hobby. The VL Hudson is a beauty, it’s a fine piece of work, I was not down grading it, just showing what can happen to a nice locomotive by great repair man, Thanks for your thoughts.
Now, let’s see what’s going to happen with the new Lionel acquisition of MTH tooling. It’s great for our hobby. Happy Railroading Everyone
