The price is right, it is a smaller scale or semi-scale version of the pre-war hudson. does it run, does the whistle work. The sets either came as a full scale hudson with three cars and a caboose or with a semi-scale hudson with two cars and a caboose. The hopper is the car missing from the semi-scale set. When checking the cars inspect them as you would o gauge pre-war scale and semi-scale cars, but the color of the cars changed over time as did the lettering on the caboose, the early versions have a cream boxcar, gray hopper and silver tank and a Pennsylvania caboose. I know Penn caboose behind a NYC engine. The scale will be marked 001 and the semi-scale will be 002. The 2-rail versions will be marked 003 and 004.
