Hi All,
This is a reminder that the pre-order deadline for this concept is November 10, 2024 at midnight! We have lowered the minimum we need ordered to 20 pieces instead of 30 as before. If you have already pre-ordered one, that's great but we are still short of our adjusted target amount to produce the run. Please see the original announcement below as well as the engine listing following it.
We are CONSIDERING making this engine and have had a couple people interested. Before we commit to making this engine from Lionel, we need to sell at least 20 (NOW; was 30) of the 40 engines that Lionel requires as a minimum order. Orders for this engine need to be in to us by midnight on November 10, 2024 so we have time to reach out to Lionel to get the process started with them if we have enough orders.
If, after this time frame passes, we do not have enough orders to justify the run, we will send out an email notice and cancel all the pre-orders. As always, we do not charge for pre-orders until the item is here and ready to ship.
We do not know the exact version of the Black Bonnet paint scheme yet as no design work has been done at this point. If this project gets enough interest, we are planning something similar to the paint scheme on our MTH Premier 4-6-2 Pacific (pictured) except that it's a J1e Hudson w/PT Tender.
Please see the listing below for the engine. We MUST have 20 (NOW; was 30) pre-ordered by the time frame above to move forward with this project.

2531XXX Black Bonnet Santa Fe VISION J1e Hudson w/PT Tender - Patrick's Trains Exclusive Concept! We are CONSIDERING making this engine and have had a couple people interested.

If this project gets enough interest, we are planning something similar to the paint scheme on our MTH Premier 4-6-2 Pacific (pictured) except that it's a J1e Hudson w/PT Tender. Perhaps no other steam locomotive shares equal fame in both the real and model world. Just as the New York Central ushered in a new era of super power with their superb 4-6-4s, so too did the 700E push Lionel to the forefront of scale models. No locomotive could be a more appropriate celebration of our 125th year than a new release of the VISION Hudson. In the same spirit of raising the bar that started with the 700E, our latest edition of this icon includes a retooled boiler for finer and more accurate details than ever before and prototype-specific details, including proper headlight, class lights and tender options. You’ll get the latest in VISION control and operating features as well, including 4-digit addressing, Bluetooth, kinematic drawbar and force coupler, whistle steam, swinging bell, road-number specific crew talk and, track pan spray effect on PT tender versions. A J1E Hudson is a must have for every New York Central AND Lionel fan. And if you’re only going to have one…this is the one you want! In addition to prototypical variations, we’re running two special “fantasy” schemes on these Hudson’s as well. A two-tone gray version will look great hauling your passenger fleet. Equipped with a PT tender, this locomotive is set up for the long haul. If you’ve got a fast freight to get over the line, you’ll want our Pacemaker Hudson to head up that string of matching merchandise cars.
