New York Central #5445 4-6-4 Hudson Locomotive (BAC53654)

New York Central 4-6-4 Hudson Locomotive is a finely detailed N-scale model that recreates the iconic 1920s Hudson used on the New York Central's passenger trains, designed to bring authentic, era-accurate power to modern layouts.

This model features an Econami SoundTraxx steam sound package with a dual-mode NMRA-compatible decoder and a precision motor, all housed in a die-cast chassis with authentic Boxpok-style drivers and a completely hidden drive train for clean lines. An operating headlight and tender backup light illuminate the model as it runs, while separate detail parts such as a bell, whistle, pop valves, and handrails add to the realism. The gear-drive mechanism uses metal driver axle bearings, and rear E-Z Mate Mark II couplers with a front dummy coupler ensure smooth operation on compatible rolling stock. Best on radii of 11.25 inches or greater. The sound suite delivers a broad array of authenticity, including 16 whistles, six bell variations, four chuffs, five air pumps and four dynamos, plus cylinder cocks, grade-crossing signals, blowdown, brake squeal and release, coupling/uncoupling, water stops, and All aboard/coach doors in 16-bit polyphonic sound. This model captures the essence of the NYC Hudson era and makes it easier to bring a legendary passenger service to an N-scale layout.
