Reply to "LIONEL 18062 SANTA FE WARHORSE"

Mike,

 

I don't have The Warhorse Hudson. I do have the 18056 NYC Hudson w/the Vanderbuilt Tender. Which came out in '96. They are the same except for the tenders and the NYC is a scale loco. (We all know a Vandy tender was never paired with a NYC Hudson.) They both have the same running gear. The Santa fe is a copy of the old 773 with different wheels. That being said, It is by far one of my favorites.

 

It didn't run that well when new. The running gear was very tight. However, I kept running it and kept it well lubed. After it broke in it has turned out to be a great runner even with the Pul-mor motor. The sound is great, it smokes out of the stack and cylinders as well. It's a great engine.

 

Let us know if you get one. I was always sorry I didn't get that set when it came out.

 

Hope this info helps,

 

Mike R
