Being a Chicagoan, I haven't picked up a lot of New York Central pieces over the decades, despite growing up 5 miles due west of Englewood Union Station, commuting through LaSalle Street Station, and seeing the prototype everywhere here when I was a kid. However, I recently acquired a #773 Hudson (1950 version) and the #2344 f-units. I also have Marx locomotives #333 and #999. Aside from the yellow two-level animal car in the background of the diesel photo, I'd have to scrounge for any other NYC rolling stock (aside from the Marx passenger cars and a caboose or two). That's all, folks.

Thanks. The loco is interesting - I've posted it before - but it's a Lionel "ATSF" (not really) Warhorse J1e Hudson, streamlined with early Williams Dreyfuss Hudson sheet metal (and some scratch built), and the Lionel TMCC electronics transferred to the enhanced original Williams tender, to represent the 5344 in its J3a-type "Century" styling period, as used on the "Mercury". Valve gear detailing has been upgraded, too. Still a Pullmor, I'm afraid.
The weathering is Bragdon's dry pigment.
HI Landsteiner,
Who makes the engine? I'm looking for 027 decals to make a Lionel 2023 into a New York Central. Or some one who can reduce the O gauge decals to fit the 2023

Lionel. I believe in 2014. Here's a video review by Eric Siegel:

Here's some Youtubes from the past couple years:
All of my New York related engines on my layout 5 years ago:
My NYC Dreyfus (now with matching 70' cars) featured on the South Fork Layout:
Had to dig deep to find things not already here, including a few NYC `works in progress' and oddities:
I have this Pedestal Tender - now I just need the 6-38000 ESE Hudson that goes with it!
I have this Mercury engine and the 3-car passenger add-on set - still missing the four-car (base) passenger set!
A "Frankenstein" pair - Weaver E-8s with what are believed to be K-Line's jade green E-8 shells:
And a "Frankenstein" set - K-Line E-8s in a lightning-stripe scheme with Weaver passenger cars:
And a personal favorite:
