ramburgy Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Yes, I have received it. It is like new. There was a problem. the seller neglected to mention that there was a corner broken off and glued back on. We negotiated a settlement and I am happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screwy Nick Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 What manufacturer?? Made a jerk out of myself assuming it was one of the ones that AML or Accucraft announced. Can you post a few pics?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markoles Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 There have been several NYC hudson models made over the years. Most recently, there was: Aster: live steam and electric Fine Arts Models: J3A Dreyfuss and regular LGB: J3A MTH: J3A USAT: J1e and there may have been one or two other oddball manufacturers of this iconic locomotive.

Screwy Nick Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I wasn't aware of those, thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markoles Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 It's kind of amazing, when you stop to consider the number of roads that had their own steam engine designs, yet all the models tend to be of one or two roads. There was a vocal minority that was lobbying for USRA models of the light / heavy pacfiic and mikado, plus 0-6-0 and 0-8-0 switchers. The argument was that all those engines could use the same 15,000 gallon tender (ARisto did eventually make it with their first run of mallet locomotives) for a 4-6-2, 4-8-2, 2-8-2, 2-10-2, 2-6-2, 0-6-0, 0-8-0, so all they'd have to make for new molds would be the locomotive itself.

chooch Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 It took a long time, but I finally got a set for my Hudson. Good luck with your search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Wow!! Looking good! Interesting plastic deck boards that you're using for the benchwork. You ever have any problems with bee's or wasps building nests inside? Around here the hornets just love spaces like that...ouch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chooch Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Chuck, That picture was taken just after the track was laid and the decking wasn't yet complete. There are now end caps on each board that seal it off from pests. You could also add a mothball or two to each to keep it clear of bees and wasps. Here is what the finished decking looks like.

enginear joe Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 What brand of deck boards are those? I can't find the hollow ones around here yet. I do have one pamphlet from a co that ships direct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chooch Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I live in Michigan, and in the mid-west there is a home improvement store called Menards. This style board I've only see there. They are called "Ultra Deck" and when on sale they sell for $ .99 LF. Here is a link to their web page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Chooch, Looking good esp. with the lake in the background! Menards...I save big $$$ there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginear joe Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Man, is that a great price!! I wonder if they'll ship to NY? Maybe a road trip will be in order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
