Just got a Lionmaster J3a Hudson from Ebay, and let me tell you this engine is amazing, in length, it's only 2 inches shorter than scale, but in my book, this is the closest you can get to scale without having to upgrade, or spend a fortune.

Really wish it had 2 more inches... ( LOL it’s fine!) Nice looking steamer! I’m partial to the these over diesels. More action on a steamer.
Really nice looking engine! Thanks for sharing.
I think it's the best semi-scale engine on the market.

I don't know when I will have this kind of money again, I'm trying to save for a car now so I don't think I will be making any big purchases until maybe next Christmas, so maybe I can get an H10 by then, maybe pre-owned.
I’ve got the first edition of this fine engine. I’ve got the SuperChuffer in it... spectacular.
