The history of Dan's Hudson has been very interesting. I wish I knew the history of my Hudson chassis. It would be cool to know who started it. Whoever built it did a fine job of it. That Dan's engine goes back to 1935 is something to think about. Her big sister 5344 was probably pulling the 20'th century Limited during this time. You could go down to the station at train time and measure the real thing! When 3/4" was the BIG scale, the New York Central Hudson was the penultimate live steamer. I really enjoy watching video from those early days. B & A tankers, and Hudsons...too cool!
