AHM/Rivarossi New York Central Streamlined Hudson 4-6-4



Up for sale is an early edition AHM/Rivarossi NYC Streamlined Dreyfuss Hudson. This is the early edition manufactured around 1972 - '73. Paint, stripes, lettering and numbers are all perfect - no blemishes, fading or scratches. Tender is equipped with the early horn hook type coupler. There are no missing or broken parts, and while bench testing the engine ran strong and smoothly in both directions at all speeds, with working headlamp. The only maintenance needed would be to replace the 2 traction tires on the drivers, as the originals (while still intact) are hard and brittle from age (about 35 years old). Replacing them would enhance pulling preformance and smoothness while running on a layout. Replacements are available at most hobby centers and require only modest technical skill to install. The original box is included and is in very good condition.
