I have a 2055 hudson with a 2046 tender and I am looking for the short streamlined passenger cars it originally came with.

I know the tlye asI see them every where on the internet and in the
magazines, but don't know the numbers orthe names on the sides of the
cars.

Could anyone help with this?

Thanks, I 'd like to buy gray 221 someday, Do you have any pics of it with your other trains or on your layout?

The only 2055 passenger set I can find is outfit 1502WS from 1953 (the first year of the 2055 production). The numbers and names are as magoo noted, but the cars with gray roofs were made from 1950-51, while the all-silver cars were made from 1952-53. So, if you want to match the set cars, they should be all-silver.
