To recapture the luster that time and the depression had worn away from its premier trains the NYC applied Henry Dreyfuss’streamlined design to it’s J-3a Hudsons, first to the Twentieth Century Limited and then to #5429 and #5426 of the Empire State Express. Paired with the Budd Co’s matching stainless steel cars, and decked out in stunning silver and black, Empire State Express was an exceptionally handsome train. But no beauty has ever made a more star-crossed entrance as the new Empire State Express rolled out on December 7, 1941. Features include an operating headlight, an operating smoke unit, illuminated Marker lights and firebox, detailed cab interior, die-cast boiler and tender, separate metal grab rails and steps, 6-wheel die-cast trucks on tender, a rear directional light on tender and an electrocoupler on rear of tender. The minimum curve radius is O-31. It measures 21 inches long.
