Thanks Don! I am not in it for collecting. I like running what I've got for sure. Compared to the marx Hudson I have , this guy is a beast.
Paul, I'll take a look at those. I've seen the 6-16018-16021 and at a reasonable price. I'm just afraid they'll be a little too small. But, for my layout may fit in better I'll check those ones you pictured.
After servicing the engine , it definitely needs some break in time. I think she was a shelf queen. I cleaned her all up on the outside. On the inside the tender board looks to be in great shape. Sounds not bad. The engine was cleaned of all old grease. Repacked and oiled. Again, the motor, rollers , wiring are like brand new. Of course when the majority of my collection is 70 plus years old, this is the new kid on the block! I grew up loving these Hudson's. Glad I'm finally able to have one!
