After the later 700E (18005) was produced in 1990, the next Hudson in line was the C&O “ yellow belly” produced in ‘95.....both of these models have pressed on wheels....1996 saw the 18045 CV Hudson. This is the first Hudson from Lionel with screwed on drivers. Followed by 18056 (763E w/ vandy tender) & 18062 ( SF Hudson from warhorse) both having screwed on drivers.......all mentioned above are Pulmor powered.....there’s a couple uncatalogued pieces, 18058, ( 773 with screwed on drivers) 18063 & 18067 both CV Hudsons.......18063 has screwed on drivers, while 18067 was basically a reissue of 18045 with weathering....all of the above share some common parts as 700E’s and are the same basic platform as 700’s....most share a host of exacting part numbers.....I’m sure there’s more models in this family, but I’ll leave room for others to share them and insert them by year.....Korean production saw 6-28072 the first J3 Hudson....there’s 3 models in this family that share parts...all 3 have screwed on drivers, but do not share parts with the 700E Pulmor equipped family. 28072, 28084 ( Dreyfus) and 38041 ( Ann. Set) .....these Hudsons all are Pittman powered.....I think that’s a good start, somebody else can fill in the blanks, and carry on from Korean production......cool thread......Pat
