Here it is!  This is the official approved artwork for our MTH Electric Trains Premier New York Central "Jubilee" J1c Hudson #5266.  Our model will be painted correctly with classic tender lettering, prototypical accurate drive rods, classification designation and marker lamps.  Each model will come with a reproduction Grade Crossing Elimination "Jubilee" booklet commemorating the historic event and now we are planning an even more special item to add to your very own 1936 era Empire State Express train! (T.B.A.)

I don't have many locomotives left available for pre-order.  I expect these to be a late summer, 2023 arrival.

We are very excited, as they will be satin black with flat black smokebox and boiler front, just like the photo of the #5266 coming in to Syracuse station above shows.  It looks like The Central cleaned her up just a little, but the rain makes her look pretty clean.  The satin nickel drive rods will be the icing on the cake.

Thank you Phil!

SIncerely,
