Well guys I’m back and it’s from Johnny Dawson’s layout. He has some new trains including the new Lionel Santa Fe 5011 Class 2-10-4 Texas type which was a former MTH locomotive. But for me I have the old school 2006 Lionel Postwar Celebration Series B&O F-3 2368 with a A-B lashup. The original B&O 2368 was made in 1956 only during Lionel’s Postwar era. A non-powered A unit add-on was later sold for separate sale. The only cataloged set including the 2368 was ever included in was set number 2269W made in 1956. The set included the 2368 B&O F3 with a A-B combination, the 3356 Santa Fe operating horse car and corral, the 6518 Lionel Lines double truck transformer car, the 6315 Gulf chemical tank car, the 3361 Lionel Lines operating log car, and the 6517 Lionel Lines bay window caboose. Today the 2368 is one of the hardest and desirable Lionel Postwar F3s for its limited production run and prototypical paint scheme. The engine was equipped with operating couplers, Magnatraction, operating headlight, and diesel horn. The #2269w wouldn’t return until 2006 as part of Lionel’s Postwar Celebration series. The updated 2368 came equipped with Railsounds 5.0, Electro-Couplers, Magnitraction, working lights, engine crew figures in the A unit, a working backup light for the B Unit, and traction tires for the A unit. Like its Postwar counterpart the PWC 2368 has become a popular operator and collector item. An add-on non-powered A Unit is sold for separate sale and it’s just as rare in the modern era.

This video was back in last fall at the 2021 TCA Fall York Trainshow in York, PA. The 785 was one of the items I bought at the show from a personal friend that my Grandpa and I know and owns along with works at one of the major train stores that sells Lionel, MTH, and American Flyer items in PA. Also the Layout it is running belongs to the LCCA which is a modular Layout and I know the guys who run it from the LCCA's Chicago Convention a few years ago, but the passenger car that then engine is pulling weren't mine. The 785 was one of the engines that was on sale at the booth. The history about the 785 Hudson is quite unique. The engine was released in 1987 for Lionel's 1987 catalog for that year and as you can guess it is a semi-scale version of the New York Central Railroad's J Class 4-6-4 Hudsons with over 275 made for the company and unfortunately none of them not even J-1e 5344 were spared from the scraper's torch although 2 J-3a almost made it into preservation they too were scrapped. The only surviving piece of a NYC Hudson is New York Central J-1 Hudson 5313's tender that was converted to a Steam Generator Car and it now resides as part of the collection at Steamtown National Park in Scranton, PA. If someone who has the resources or the money to build a new NYC J Class 4-6-4 Hudson of either the J-1 or J-3 Classes for excursion service and how PRR T-1 4-4-4-4 5550 Duplex being built by the T-1 Trust group they would have to reconvert 5313's old tender back to being a normal locomotive tender by using the old blueprints from ALCO to get it back to its original shape not to mention give it roller bearings and find an axillary water tender for it. The 785 was also made to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Lionel's 1937 release of their legendary 700E Scale Hudson also the was colored grey to be a modern version at the time of the rare Prewar Lionel 763E Hudson with the Grey Coal Tender made the same year as the 700E Scale Hudson. Features: Die-cast metal body; All metal construction; Lionel Pullmor motor; Operating puffing smoke unit; Electronic whistle and steam engine sounds; Sound of Steam; Spoked Drivers; Die-cast trucks; Die-cast operating knuckle coupler; All metal wheels & axles; All metal gears and drive-train; Magnetraction; Transformer controlled forward-neutral-reverse operation; Die-cast tender body; Operating headlight; Jeweled markers on boiler front & sides; Metal ornamental bell & whistle; Metal railings on engine & tender; Die-cast & metal steps on tender; Overall length: 23"; Minimum curve: O-31; This is my 2nd MPC era Lionel Hudson while my first one is the 783 Hudson which was released in 1984 and was a MPC Era updated version of Postwar Lionel's 773 Hudson. I'm going to be looking for Lionel's 784 Boston & Albany Hudson which is rare to find and other Lionel Hudsons including the Wabash Hudson, the Railsounds & TMCC B&A Hudson, 1990s 700E Scale Hudson 5340, and a few others. Also I'll be at the LCCA Nashville Convention this July and I might show more of the trains I have on that layout. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ky1GGZ8_0F8

Here’s another video from today, but this engine the 783 I had for 3 years by now is from the 1980s era of Lionel. Runs greats, smokes good, and the sounds are amazing. I’m a Hudson fan and trust me there are more in my collection. Tomorrow it will be the icing on the top the Century Club 1 New York Central 773 from 2000.
