so the Hudson's are light like I suspected from Ryan's video then? I do remember seeing that and thinking that it was off, sort of like the one run of MTH's that were the very light gray
I have not seen the engine but it appears it is also a very light gray. There are two ways to tell. Look at the very first photo and the end of the diaphragm. This gives a good indication how light the engine will be to match the cars. Another way to tell is much like when I first looked at my set, I couldn't make out the lettering as the gray was so light (it looks like there is also a blue tint to it but let's not go there). Again look at the original photos, you have to get the cars in a proper light to make out the lettering.

Check out that link to the video I posted above, that's what I was talking about. It looks lighter than the Dreyfuss from the stolen tooling, but darker than the MTH 5445 I was talking about.
