Nothing got in my way! Everything I saw looked like it was glued firmly in place.

Can't show mine right now as it is in Boston at a good friend's layout...... I sure like that Zeppelin!

Mines a 1946 Lionel 221 with a 221W tender.
ANY OTHER DREYFUSS S?
Forgot I had these photos of an early Williams Dreyfuss on the Christmas layout I built for OGR magazine.

Loved the pics and videos guys, but this can't be all the Dreyfuss s, can it?
Give people time. Mine was put away until this weekend when I finally had time to dig it out. It's an early MTH PS-1 equipped version that I upgraded to add the disk wheels I really like and installed an Proto-coupler on the tender. It's the locomotive that brought me back to O from N.

Where/How did you get the Scullin drivers? I love my Hudson as it is, but I have always thought the Scullins add to the futuristic styling of the engine.
The great thing about these early MTH PS-1 era locomotives is that very little changed over the years. The Empire State Express locomotive came with the disk wheels, and a fellow forum member was kind enough to sell me a gutted ESE loco. So after a gut and body swap, my Dreyfuss now has the wheels I prefer. And the old wheels went under the ESE body and now my 1 year old has a "pusher" train to play with. If you do a search, you'll find the tread with more detail of the process.

I saw that thread, very interesting. I love it.
