Old photo of the NYC Dreyfus Hudson and the MTH Premier model I just got.  I ran it for the first time last night and it is AWESOME!  I'm not a NYC collector but this engine is an icon of steam and I had to have it.  The MTH model has "Driver Illumination"  small lights above each driver which looks REALLy cool in a darkened train room.  Were these lights prototypical?

I just love those Dreyfus Hudson locomotives.  

 

I had two at one time. Both three rail brass, An exceptional Samhongsa scale Williams and a Weaver. I think the lights for sure were prototype. That must have been amazing seeing that thing whizz by at 90 per in the late evening with all those cars.... What an amazing experience it must have been.
