MTH hudsons are great locomotives. She'll get a lot of run time now.

Sensational steamer!
Here she is in all her glory.
Congratulations Gary! Shes a keeper! 
Amazing craftsmanship by Bruk, and a COA and instructions to go with it, class act!
Now.... how do we convince Bruk to buy out Mike Wolf so we can enjoy more of these "Legacy equipped" Mth engines? 
Gary, your a die hard B&A guy. I wouldn’t worry about the cost. Your going to enjoy running it now rather than it sitting on a siding. MTH’s are well built and Bruk’s craftsmanship is top notch. Looking at the prices of today’s trains. You have a bargain. Parts may be sourced. But it was assembled in the USA by a craftsman who takes pride in getting it right.
Amazing craftmanship!
Hat's off to you!
That is a great job, Bruk! You have to be happy with it Gary! That is a wonderful passenger train as well. Thank you for posting the video!

Yes heck of a lot cheaper than a new engine. Not that Lionel would ever build this version anyway. Cost is a concern, that’s why I’m not doing all remaining MTH at once but they will get done sooner or later. Bruk a busy guy these days.
