4-6-4 Hudson

This Bachmann 4-6-4 Hudson with sound and DCC captures the great looks of the popular steam locomotive. As the 1920s progressed, the need for faster, more powerful locomotives to pull the 20th Century Limited and other famous trains along the New York Central's routes prompted NYC to order 4-6-4 locomotives from the American Locomotive Company. Delivered in 1927, the 4-6-4 Hudson type entered service along its namesake Hudson River and became an iconic symbol of both the NYC and fast, luxury rail travel. This sound and DCC sound-equipped model features the SoundTraxx(R) Econami(TM) sound package that includes prototypical steam sounds - all in polyphonic 16-bit sound. This 4-6-4 Hudson model also features separately applied details, fine scale driver spokes, an operating headlight and E-Z Mate(R) Mark II knuckle coupler on the rear of the tender. It's one of many Bachmann N Scale locomotives.
