Bachmann N 4-6-4 Hudson - Sound and DCC -- New York Central 5420 (As-Delivered, black, graphite, Roman Lettering)

As the 1920s progressed, the need for faster, more powerful locomotives to pull the 20^th Century Limited and other famous trains along the New York Central’s routes become clear. The American Locomotive Company fulfilled that need in 1927, as the 4-6-4 Hudson type entered service along its namesake Hudson River. The Hudson became an iconic symbol of both the New York Central and fast, luxury rail travel.

Factory-set for 4-6-4 maximum realism and equipped with an Econami^™ SoundTraxx^® steam package, the locomotive offers a choice of 16 whistles, multiple variations of 6 bell types, 4 prototypical chuffs, 5 air pumps and 4 dynamos, plus cylinder cocks, grade-crossing signal, blowdown, brake squeal/release, coupling/uncoupling, water stop, and "All aboard"/ coach doors—all in 16-bit polyphonic sound.
