Does anyone here have this Boston and Albany small hudson, I beleive its from 1994-95??
It has Railsounds 2. My questions is, does it have TMCC? I see references stating it does, and other references stating it doesnt. Which is it? How does it sound and run?
Thanks!

It does have TMCC, and the sounds are slightly modified versions of the C&O streamlined Yellowbelly Hudson with a more "Pennsylvania Turbine" sound whistle. It runs about as good as any other Lionel "Junior-sized" Hudsons.
I have it Mark. It was the first steamer with Railsounds 2 and TMCC. It has a AWESOME NYC whistle. Runs pretty fair, has a 8600 style motor. Came with a standard plunger uncoupler, which is upgradeable to a electrocoupler.

I thought that the C&O streamlined Hudson had that distinction, and that the Santa Fe Mikado from the year before was the first steam engine with RailSounds 2...
The Hudson came out before the C&O loco, and the 2-8-2 had railsounds, but not TMCC.
I have a chance to pick one up at a really attractive price. Thanks for the video, it runs and sounds almost like the Wabash Bluebird.
