Overview:

As the demand for rail travel increased in the 1920s, the need for faster, more powerful locomotives to pull the 20th Century Limited and other express services along the New York Central's Water Level Route became clear. The solution was delivered by the American Locmotive Company in 1927, as the 4-6-4 Hudson entered service alongside its namesake Hudson River. The type quickly became a symbol of both the New York Central and fast, luxury rail travel. Factory-set for maximum realisim and equipped with a TCS WOWSound® CD-quality, 16-bit, 44,100Hz decoder with Audio Assist®, the Bachmann Hudson arrives with a steam locomotive sound package that features user-definable whistle options, bell, blowdown, cylinder cocks, water fill, coupler close and release, brake application and release, momentum, grade crossing quill, station annoucnement and more.
