Boston & Albany G Gauge RailKing One Gauge 4-6-4 J2b Steam Engine with Proto-Sound 2.0

Perhaps no other railroad has ever been as closely associated with a locomotive as the New York Central is with the J-class Hudson. By the mid-1920s, it became clear that NYC needed an engine that could reliably pull heavier passenger trains than anything they had available. They charged their engineering department with designing a locomotive with greater starting effort and more horsepower at speed that was still within the weight and size limitations dictated by the railroad's existing bridges and clearances. The ALCO-built 4-6-4 Hudson that resulted was a resounding success, pulling both passenger and freight trains over NYC lines. The beautiful engine proved so popular with railfans, photographers, and the public at large that NYC used it to advertise their passenger service. In an era when passenger trains were luxurious ways to travel, the NYC Hudson was the class of the field. It is M.T.H.'s pleasure to reintroduce this beautifully detailed 1:32 scale model of the J-3a Hudson as a Boston and Albany J2b locomotive to garden railroaders everywhere. The engine will look as stunning pulling your freight or crack passenger trains as the celebrated prototype did. It is available with the long list of features shown.
