O Gauge History: The Iconic Lionel Hudsons

[@V-max97]

I got my lionchief Hudson 2 years ago. I love that engine!

Rich that is wonderful. By the way we met a long time ago in Ohio when I was in elementary school and got to see one of the layouts in the OGR magazine. If you know the name of a man from Hopkinsville, Kentucky named Bill Farrell then you know I’m talking about. I’m his grandson and he’s pretty well and I have both the Lionel 1990 Scale Hudson and the 2011 Lionel Vision Line Scale Hudson. Heck I even got all the 700 series scale freight cars to go with 5340 except for one that I’ll have to look for. You can’t imagine how many Lionel Hudsons I have in my collection early modern era to today models. Recently I got my hands on a Lionel Wabash Hudson being my first Wabash steam locomotive on my roster of engines. Hope Lionel has plans to release a scale P-1 Wabash Hudson in the future.

Wow Mr Melvin. I was thinking about the Lionel Hudson tonight. I log into KZbin, this came up.

Well thanks! But “Mr. Melvin” was my father. 😂 _Rich Melvin_

Might not have the glitz of a 700E, but I'm a happy camper with my 2065 baby hudson.

Excellent video. I have always loved the Hudson since I first saw it in the 1966 catalog. I agree with your last statement. If you want an investment, buy mutual fund shares, not toy trains.

I have the 1990 version in a box downstairs 😅 I haven’t even looked at it since I was ten
