LIONEL 6-28084 NY CENTRAL 4-6-4 DREYFUSS HUDSON #5452 LOCOMOTIVE & TENDER BOXED. Topdog Presents: Always interesting stuff! Very good to excellent condition, I do not know if it has ever been used. I marked it as used because of some writing on styrofoam and wear to the box.

I bought it from a train collector who was taking very good care of his trains. The box shows light wear and creases. There is some ink writing on styrofoam as seen in the photos. Essential must-have train for any train collection. Beginning in the roaring twenties, Henry Dreyfuss embarked on a quest to redefine the consumer and industrial world of his time. His work ranged from flyswatters and radios to farm tractors and cruise ships. In the late 1930s, at age 34, the industrial designer received possibly his greatest challenge from the New York Central Railroadmerge the sleek aerodynamic form of an airplane with the utilitarian hard edges of a steam locomotive. NYC wanted the vogue of the modern age, in a word streamline. Refining concepts from the earlier Commodore Vanderbilt, Dreyfuss gave the world an art deco iconthe Dreyfuss J3a Hudson. Instead of obscuring the locomotive's shape with a shroud, he chose to enhance it with a cowling that conformed tightly to the lines of the locomotive and tender. Running gear and other vital parts remained exposed for aesthetic balance and easier maintenance. Christened in 1938, this sleek new Hudson led the famed Twentieth Century Limited which sped passengers between New York and Chicago in 16 hours, the fastest regular service of the time. --Lionel has worked tirelessly to pay tribute to this inspiration of the locomotive design. Our Dreyfuss J3a Hudson contains all of your favorite features such as TrainMaster Command Control and RailSounds.
