That is a beautiful locomotive! The drivers look great as does the darker smoke box. I have heard about the PT tenders having tracking issues, at least the MTH ones, so I was wondering how it takes curves.
I have one J, it is a scale K-line with the regular tender. Your J looks much nicer!

Hey guys' I'm very happy that you are pleased with your new Hudson's. A good job by Lionel. Maybe short runs of locomotives is the way to go. I will watch for new offerings in the future.
Gary.

Nice Loco. Apparently Dave Olson said that the PT tenders have the Kinematic drawbar like the VL Niagra. I’m not a fan of NYC Steam unshrouded but some of the engines and different exclusive runs from hobby shops make this model attractive to my eyes.

This is the first engine with the Kinematic drawbar which I love on steam engine tenders, not a big fan on passenger cars but it does the trick on tenders.

Actually the Milwaukee 261 S3 had the first kinematic draw bar. Why Lionel did not make them standard on future highend-locomotives is beyond me.

From one GEORGE a to another, ENJOY!!!! Just keep it away from SIR JAMES? I believe it would be safe in Sir James hands .... Train Wreck Bob might be a different story. Awesome looking loco!

I'm glad to read so many positive experiences with this Hudson locomotive. It was LONG overdue for being re-issued by Lionel. I sold my TMCC version from the early 2000's back when I was doing some serious collection-thinning... and I was beginning to regret selling it, since it seemed like Lionel would never re-issue it. But these latest models appear to be fitting successors to those TMCC models -- perhaps even moreso than the VisionLine Hudson several years back, admittedly with very different tooling.
