1930's NYC Hudson found in Museum

But if the loco is 13" long, it must be 1/4" scale?

I am English, so don't know much about American rairoads, but do any of the 20th Century Ltd Observation Car models of the Drefus Hudson, also 0 scale I believe, survive, please?

The link says it's 13"x72"x9" which I assume means 13"high, 72"long, 9"wide. At 16' per foot, that would work out to 96' long. IIRC a Hudson was 98' long. Difference may just be where you measure (i.e. if you include couplers or not for example.)

Sorry!

I am being completely idiotic - you're absolutely correct.  It's normal to set dimensions out in length x width x height and being an optimist, I never read past what I thought was the length!

But, a few weeks ago I was shown a picture of the model Dreyfus displayed in the 20th Century Ltd observation car which is clearly 0 scale, compared to the interior width of the car.   Has one of those been saved,  who made them or is anything known about them at all? please

Yes, the dimensions threw me off too in how they were listed. Along with the reference that the tender is a freight car, and that the rods are not in the down position, I would surmise that a curator mindset is different from a train enthusiast one.

When I first saw this model, I thought it might be the one on page 325 in Alvin Staufer's book "Thoroughbreds." But no, the engine numbers are different. Also the drivers are not the same color.

Does anyone know the history of the Hudson at the TNN RR station in Chattanooga?

It's been 7 or 8 years since I was there and don't remember the particulars. Nice model and similar in size to this one.

Some things never change, looks like it needs a new marker jewel. Must have run it off the table at some point

If a full sized one were ever found it would rock the worlds of the NYC haters in the steam community.

Its in a barn somewhere, unfortunately, finding the barn is just as hard as finding the hudson thats hidden in it.
