The J3a Hudsons have hit the dock at Lionel. Expect them ten or so days from this week. with the special runs for Mr Muffins and Pat's trains shortly after that.

I hope that this is all good news for those who ordered them and they are trouble free.

Man, I would really like one, but minimum curve is 0-72. The only time I could run it is at the club. The price is higher than I can afford too. 😞

Denny, that's a slightly different locomotive... and I'm pretty sure that's a misprint anyway. Hudsons with regular tenders have operated on O-54 for decades just fine. It's the Hudson models equipped with a centipede tender that tend to require the O-72 minimum curve.

I would agree, as long as its not a PT tender you should be fine with 0-54 curves.

The way Lionel is headed, it will probably be delivered with pantographs on the roof.  |

My inside info says this is a defect free engine. Paint or otherwise. This could be the first one without issues since the 2016 Mogul. Lets hope
