Did Williams trains ever make a production Gray unshrouded New York Central hudson? I reciently picked up an older Williams brass Hudson.The Gray finish looks original and the lettering looks like silk screen not decals.The tender has a realistic coal load, diecast trucks and a solid state reverse unit.There is no sound system.This hudson looks like the Williams #4000 black model produced in the mid 1980's.It looks similar to the Lionel 763E.

I can't tell you much about yours....but if anyone can a photo will help a lot....and as owner of 3 Williams Hudsons....I'd like to see!!!!
Williams did make their brass Hudson in gray. I just liquidated an estate that had these models in black and gray. The ones that were in running condition ran very smooth. Almost too quiet, if there is such a thing. As Dave said, a quick photo will help finalize thoughts on it.

Thanks for the replies.I don't have a working digital camera but my Williams gray Hudson has No.763-E ,NYC LINES under the side cab windows.It has a hole pattern for a speaker under the tender.It has no smoke unit but has an opening smoke box door,working head lamp,a relatively glossy finish and it does run smooth for an older locomotive.I was curious when this engine was made since I cannot find any documentation on it.
