NYC 20th Century Limited Dreyfuss Hudson (Sound/DC/DCC)
(1938 Paint Scheme)

The New York Central commissioned famed industrial designer Henry Dreyfuss to sculpt the streamlined shape for the ten J3 Hudson locomotives slated to pull the 20th Century Limited train.

Seventy years later, Broadway Limited Imports marks the pinnacle of the streamlined era with this swellerifc HO recreation.
