Hello all

Recently surfaced Dreyfus Hudson

Scale Craft chassis , Lionel 700 / 763 front pilot & cylinders , and Lobaugh rear truck.

Body brass ...nose may be an old ice cream scoop .

Found sans tender ....however a Niagara tender ( Max Gray+-) was acquired at the same sale ...so NYC matched them up postwar for a super Hudson ....

Joe Fischer streamlined 20th Century Limited cars ...Bristol board sides, wood roofs & floors... Lobaugh trucks

Engine from 1940's ...tender & cars 1950's

Carey, those passenger cars are absolutely fabulous and really shows how nice wood and cardstck passenger cars could look when built right and taken care of. All too often I see 30s-50s vintage O scale cars beat to **** and I wonder what those cars looked like in their prime.

As always, thanks for sharing your treasures and for tracing the history of these models and recording it for posterity. Was this Dreyfuss the one that was in the recent Stout 2 rail auction?
