Picked up a 223 AC Hudson in the parking lot at York at a price I couldn't refuse. Another member of NPS had one and it really appealed to me.
So far have taken the engine and tender apart and cleaning the filthy thing, which was caked with grease on the inside. I already have a can motor from Port Lines and will add a Tsunami sound/control unit for DCC. Definitely want to repaint it to New York Central with an authentic number.
Also picked up a 900 series New Haven box car in excellent condition for a great price (1/3 of asking).
Now I have 2 DCC Pacific Steam, 3 FlyerChief (2 Berks, 1 Northern) steam, the Hudson and a GP7 Flyerchief on order. Too many engines.
Finally picked up a hudson tender bottom with trucks and wheels and a bottom.
Yes it was happy hunting.
