My first Hudson was the O27 passenger set in the 1980's from the sears catalog. I think it was #8606. I have some of the 1990's Hudsons, but always in the market for more(naturally).
Not a Hudson. The NYC 8606 (Lionel 6-18606) was a 2-6-4, which was used in Sears sets during the late 1980s. I have the 8607 -- same loco, only in U.P. Overland paint scheme.

I actually had to go look. It has been so long since I have had that set out I forgot what it was. Pacific's hiding in plain sight, lol. My first Hudson then is the 763E J1-E in the 1997 Catalog with the Vanderbilt Tender. I actually have to swap out the regular wheels on the engine for the traction tire one. I wonder what the difference in pulling power would be with those on?
