Pics and video of my newly upgraded K-line scale hudson

Hi Dave,

 

Wow sounds and looks great, also awesome passenger cars

 

Thanks, Alex

Thanks Alex, it turned out really great. I needed a great engine to go with those great cars  from MTH. 

Which passenger set from MTH is that? Usually I avoid their passenger cars because they lack underbody streamlining, but these cars actually have it.

Great looking and sounding.

Nick,

 

The set was made in about 2007 and is one of the few sets that were plated. The box is in my storage facility so I don't have the number handy but I will try to get it for you. 

Well Dave,  it's about time! 

 

How long have you had that Hudson?

 

Seriously, that looks/sounds great and the PS2 conversion really 'fills out' the beautiful K-Line models doesn't it?

 

How many of us have this conversion now?

perhaps other owners can chime in here too.

Of those that come to memory are 

Scott Smith,

Rod Stewart, 

Myself,

now you.

 

I'll wager there are quite a few more...

What a beautiful set.  Those passenger cars look gorgeous with you K-Line Hudson.

Very nice.  Although not a K-Line, I have a Williams scale Hudson that I plan on upgrading in the near future.

David;

Beauty engine and it looks like it runs great.

I converted the same engine to PS-2 a while back and it and a PS-2 K-Line Mikado are my two favorite runners these days.

You may want to try 4 chuffs/rev. I think you will like it.Since the Hudson has big drivers it sounds great at that setting.

 

Enjoy,

Rod

drelo;

That Williams Hudson should make a great conversion as well.

We would love to see a video clip when you get it done.

Keep those plated cars because MTH will never do plated again.  They are a hot item.  You have a great engine to pull them.

Your right about MTH never making plated cars again because I have pleaded my case for them to do it the past 2 York's and Mike wolf told me not to hold my breath. After he told me the reason why, I can understand.

I have had that conversation many times with Mike.  He informed me that to get one good shell, it averaged one out of twelve were useable.  The NYC cars are the most desireable and impossible to find.  I do not have them.  I did manage to get a large supply of Santa Fe cars.  Also plated were the last Amfleet cars, Flying Yankee and AEM-7 locomotives.  I did get all of those.  I picked up 48 Amfleet plated cars.

Enjoy it David. Great set to have.
