  • (1) HO Dreyfuss Streamlined Hudson Locomotive

Overview

While the locomotive remained mechanically identical to previous, non-streamlined Hudsons, the styling by industrial designer Henry Dreyfuss updated the external cladding to rival the modern appearance of its early-diesel peers. The locomotive and matching passenger car sets were primarily used on the prestigious 20th Century Limited between New York and Chicago until being phased out in favor of diesel power in 1945. The Bachmann Dreyfuss Streamlined Hudson arrives with all of the authentic and interactive features found on the standard J3a Hudson, including dual-mode TCS WOWSound® DCC with CD quality audio, a Keep Alive® device for uninterrupted performance, and Chuffinity™ technology for prototypical load-based chuff intensity.

Features

  • DCC equipped for sound, speed, direction, and lighting control
  • Keep-Alive® device that keeps your engine running during power interruptions due to dirty track or loss of electrical contact
  • Chuffinity™ technology for prototypical load-based chuff intensity
  • LED directional headlights with Rule 17 dimming
  • Boxpok or Scullin drivers per prototype
  • TCS true CD-quality audio in 16-bit 44,100Hz sound
  • Voice-guided Audio Assist® programming tool for easy setup of almost all decoder functionality
  • Dual-mode NMRA-compliant decoder for use on digital (DCC) or analog (DC) systems
  • Die-cast frame and boiler
  • Magnetically operated E-Z Mate® Mark II couplers
