New York Central 4-6-4 Imperial Empire State Express Steam Engine w/Proto-Sound 2.0

Easily one of the most attractive and recognizable steam engines of all time, the New York Central Empire State Hudson has long been a favorite of railfans and modelers alike. Beautifully outfitted with stainless steel shrouding, two J-3a Hudsons took over New York Central's New York to Buffalo route in 1941. The Empire State Hudson's famous black and silver livery and matching streamlined coaches made the Empire State Express synonymous with luxury rail travel and was an awe inspiring sight to all who had the privilege to see it pass by.

MTH is proud to reintroduce the awesome appearance of the Empire State Hudson to our RailKing lineup. The die-cast boiler and tender are decorated with the black and silver livery that made the locomotive famous. Underneath the die-cast skin lie the Empire's die-cast metal chassis, metal drivers and rods, metal coupler, and a precision flywheel equipped motor. Our puffing ProtoSmoker system and the incredible sounds and features of Proto-Sound 2.0 are sure to bring back memories of the real thing. No other model railroad manufacturer recreates the excitement, sounds and looks of real railroading like MTH. Don't let this unique opportunity pass you by.
