![]() ![]() Did you know that Lionel Used to make a Locoscope? Well, its a little plastic model of the hudson that was used to view frames of 16mm film. A short interview Lionel Collector Donald Fiore is included. What about passenger cars? well Joshua Lionel Cowen painted the Milwaukee Road's Hiawatha, & UP's M-10000 coaches red. Which includes a Pennsylvania Boxcar, A Sunoco Tank Car, a Baltimore & Ohio Hopper, And the NYC Caboose. Did you know that there are some handsome carrying cases made to transport the most splendid engine in Lionel History? Also back in the Late '30s, Lionel also introduced some realistic freight cars. A short interview with Lionel Collector Jim Flynn is included. After all, $75.00 for a locomotive on a lionel layout is more affordable than $600-$2500 per engine. Lionel's first Hudson was Pricey back then, but on the Bright side, It was only $75.00. Some advertising photos of the toy hudson was shown, especially the 8mm films. And thus, Lionel's very first realistic model: The New York Central Hudson Was Born. Back then, model railroaders want full scale trains. Which includes That in 1935, Lionel made the Red Comet, the Boston & Maine's Flying Yankee, Union Pacific's City of Denver, and the popular Blue Comet. While this program was focused on the hudsons, there are other toy trains shown in this video. There are other hudsons which include the J-1B's C's & D's. Like many other hudsons, 5200 operated on the 20th century limited. The first one Class J-1-A number 5200 is shown in photographs. Construction of the Hudson Began in 1926. An interview with Thoroughbreads bookwriter Al Staufer is included. Some black & white films of the hudson are shown especially photograps of the 4-8-2 mohawk, and the K5 class 4-6-2 pacific not to mention the LIMA Ohio Built 2-8-4 berkshires. In a world of Steam Locomotives, It was the New York Central's hudson. In popular swinging jazz music, Frank Sinatra. then Narrator Stew McDonnell says that in every arena, one emerges & becomes the best. In part 2 that was originally made in 2001, it starts of with the runby/pacing of the 1990 hudson. There is also a brief history of the model, and everything is covered piece by piece from the shells, to assembling the wheels, to spray painting, to adding the original 1989-1993 steam railsounds on the tender to the final assembly line, which has the old number 7 song in it. In part 1 made in 1990 or 1991, there is an introduction from one of Lionel's presidents Richard Kughn. None the less, it is a great video and well worth the price to have. The only thing I would like to have seen, were the inclusion of the smaller post war "baby hudsons" and even the pre war 226E and how Cowen's obsession with making detailed toy trains that looked more realistic than ever before in the late 30's led to the fabulous 700E being produced. It is very entertaining to anyone who loves Lionel's "scale" Hudson loco. The second part is even more interesting, with detailed reviews of each of the successive variations of Lionel's Hudsons from beginning to the latest versions made at the time the video was shot. The first half is a interesting look at what it takes to build a toy train, from design to production and is a worthwhile watch by itself.
