Description
Built on Broadway Limited's Santa Fe Blue Goose tooling, these hand-assembled brass-hybrid Hudsons wear imaginative fantasy schemes inspired by the real liveries of the same railroads — the 1947 American Freedom Train (the natural companion to BLI's 5-car Freedom Train heavyweight set) and Santa Fe's Valley Flyer. Hand-crafted brass boiler, cab and tender body on heavy diecast chassis.
This version: Freedom Train #3460, 1947 Fantasy Paint, Paragon4 Sound/DC/DCC, Smoke. The Paragon4 version carries BLI's Paragon4 Sound & Control system with synchronized puffing smoke and chuff sound, variable smoke intensity and timing, an integral dual-mode DCC decoder with Back EMF for the best slow-speed running in DC and DCC, GoPack capacitors and prototypically accurate Streamlined Hudson 4-6-4 sounds.
Model features: Hand-crafted brass boiler, cab and tender body on heavy diecast chassis · Paragon4 with synchronized puffing smoke and chuff, variable smoke intensity and timing · Integral DCC decoder with Back EMF · 5-pole skew-wound can motor · Separately controllable headlight, numberboards, cab light, tender deck light and rear emergency light · Factory-installed engineer and fireman · Separately applied handrails, grab irons, ladders, piping, cab glass, whistle, brass bell and markers · Rubber traction tires · Minimum radius 18".
