Lionel 2531270 O Scale 4-6-4 J1e Hudson Steam Loco New York Central NYC 5344 (VISION Line BTO)

The J1 Hudson. Perhaps no other steam locomotive shared equal fame in both the real and model world. Just as the New York Central ushered in a new era of superpower with their superb 4-6-4s, so too did the 700E push Lionel to the forefront of scale models. No locomotive could be a more appropriate celebration of Lionel’s 125th year than a new release of the VISION Hudson. In that same spirit of raising the bar starting with the 700E, the latest edition of this icon includes a retooled boiler for finer and more accurate details than ever before and prototype-specific details including proper headlight, class lights and tender options. You’ll get the latest in VISION control and operating features as well including 4-digit addressing, Bluetooth, whistle steam, swinging bell, road-number-specific Crewtalk and track pan spray effect on PT tender versions.

A J1E Hudson is a must have for every New York Central AND Lionel fan. And if you’re only going to have one… this is the one you want! In addition to prototypical variations, Lionel is running two special “fantasy schemes on these Hudsons as well. A two-tone gray version will look great hauling your passenger fleet. Equipped with a PT Tender, this locomotive is set up for the long haul. If you’ve got a fast freight to get over the line, you’ll want the Pacemaker Hudson to head up that string of matching merchandise cars. While they’ve gone to great lengths to make this their most detailed J1E Hudson yet, they’re still paying tribute to the past with 5344 and 5325. These feature a more toy-like whistle detail and include a quillable air whistle as one of the five whistle options. And if early Lionel is your passion, then you’ll love the recreated 763 / 767 Set complete with scale cars and a retro finish.
