Broadway Limited Imports (broadway-limited.com)is
scheduled to release HO scale models of two historic steam
locomotives this month.
First up is the famous New York Central 4-6-4 class J3a
Hudson. Industrial stylist Henry Dreyfuss designed the
bullet-nosed Hudson to lead the Central’s prestigious 20th
Century Limited passenger train. Inaugurated on June 15,
1938, the streamlined steam locomotive completed the run
from New York’s Grand Central Terminal to Chicago in just
16 hours. BLI’s HO scale model includes Paragon2 sound and
control system with a factory installed DCC decoder for dual
mode DC and DCC operation. The diecast hybrid construc-
tion consists of brass locomotive and tender superstructures
mounted on diecast metal chassis. The model is available in
two road numbers in the 1938 scheme, and three numbers
decorated in the 1940 scheme. All versions have an MSRP of
$499.99 each.
