**** The A.C.Gilbert, American Flyier Hudson 4-6-4 ****
This is the forth and last version of the Hudson. In this version a smoke unit has been added and a Pittman style open frame motor powers it. The drivers are metal and return to a larger size.
Photo # 1 is # 443. This is the third different boiler. My #443 had bad drivers and I replaced them with Mantua pacific drivers. I am placeing another hudson photo so that the new drivers can be seen.
Photo # 2 Is #31005
