It is official, I have it baaaddd! Today I took delivery of my 8th full scale NYC Hudson. If you count the separate sale PT tender from Lionel it is 8 1/2! Today's arrival is an MTH J-1e with PT tender equipped with proto 2. It looks great and runs fantastic. And oh that whistle!!! There is really no reason why I should have this many and this is a mania is a fairly recent phenomenon in my overall train collecting pursuits. However, I find that I just can resist them. I have them from Lionel, Williams (brass), MTH and K-Line. No one is my favorite unless you count the one I am running at the time.
