Lionmaster Lionel Hudson Circa 2003

I thought that I would "bump" this, to see if anyone could help?

Thanks,

Galen

I have been looking in vein to try and find one of these locomotives.  I'll be very interested in what others in our forum have to say.  Anyone have one they want to sell? please lt me know.... Thanks, Lion Vic

I will say, I got a great deal, and it is an awesome locomotive....the Hudson being one of my favorite classes!  The problems are very minior, and I am sure someone knows how to correct it here.  This is quite the forum!

I use mine almost every day.  Love it.  Smoke, sound, pull all excellent.

Jon,

Do you run in conventional or TMCC mode?  Have you ever had the marker lights go out as I described above, only to come back on once placed in the neutral mode?

Thanks,

Galen

gtw5812, where did you find yours?  I'm planning on going to a train meet this weekend in Indy.  I wonder if thats a good place to shop for a good Hudson for a decent price.  your thoughts

Hi Jon, where did you find your hudson? thanks, Lion Vic

Sir, I am a "rookie" here, only becoming a member last week!  I have messed around in O Gauge a little, but this is my first "big push" into it.  I found the Hudson on E-bay about 5 days ago, and recieved it yesterday.  This is my first "True" Lionel locomotive, since I own mostly MTH.  I have a couple of K-Line "Semi scale" Hudsons, as well as MTH ones.  I have wanted one of these for a long time!

As for the train show, I have had "hit or miss" results at them.  I am sure someone will be able to answer your question directly, and hopefully give me a solution to my minor problems as well!

Good Luck, and I hope you find one...they are great!

Galen, welcome to the forum. This is a fantastic group of folks that are very helpful with any problem that crops up.  I spend hours just reading and learning. Got back into O gauge a few years ago and currently doing the research on my basement layout.  Good luck with yours!! and have fun.  Best Regards, Lion Vic

I've never tried running my TMCC engines in Conventional Mode.  Where did I buy it?  There might still be a shipping label on the outer carton if I go digging.  I haven't had the problem you describe.  I'd recommend a Reset, but it sounds as if you don't have a CAB-1 & Base.

I purchased mine back in 2007.  I run it at least once a year.  I have not had

any problems with this beauty of a steam engine.  In my opinion Lionel hit a home

run with this line of motive power.  I have five LioneMaster engines.  The four diesel

engines have never given me a problem. 

My advice to anyone looking for the LionMaster Hudson would be to check out the

Hobby Shops on this Forum , local train meets, and the buy section here on the forum.   I purchased my LionMaster Hudson from Island Trains located in New York City.  Do not know if they are still around. I paid somewhere around $475.00.

Many thanks,

Billy C

Thanks everyone!  I really am enjoying this forum, and upgrading to O gauge!  I find it much more relaxing, and creative!

Best Regards,

Galen
