Thanks guys for the comments.
John - The Pecos River is a gorgeous AT&SF Hudson, but other than the wheel arrangement, they don't have much in Common with a NYC Hudson. Not sure if they have made one of those.
Mario - I am seriously leaning that way.
Pete - As I said I want to buy 1 at this time. Sorry if I gave the impression to you and Mario that when I come to Syracuse I would be flying up in my Lear Jet and taking you guys up for a ride. You suggested the K-Line in your first post as a good compromise. Really leaning that way.
