New York Central 5420 Hudson 4-6-4 Locomotive (BAC53652)

New York Central 5420 Hudson 4-6-4 steam locomotive is a meticulously detailed scale model that recreates the iconic Hudson class used by the New York Central in the 1920s. Factory-equipped with Econami SoundTraxx steam sound and a dual-mode NMRA-compatible decoder, it delivers authentic sound and flexible operation on both traditional DC layouts and modern DCC systems. A precision motor with gear drive powers a completely hidden drivetrain for clean lines, while authentic Boxpok-style drivers, an operating headlight, and a tender backup light contribute to the locomotive’s lifelike presence. Separate detail parts—including the bell, whistle, pop valves, and handrails—boost the realism, while the die-cast chassis and metal driver axle bearings provide durability.

Rounding out the package are E-Z Mate Mark II couplers at the rear with an extra front dummy coupler included, enabling realistic consist configurations. The model is designed to perform best on curves with a radius of 11.25 inches or greater, making it ideal for larger layouts that showcase long, elegant passenger trains and the Hudson’s distinctive silhouette.
