[quote user="Da Stumer"]Are you thinking of the plastic Revell Monogram kits? They are pretty cheap, but they are stationary models. Molded color, put on some stickers, that is how I think they are.[/quote] No there were actually working Hudson Kits at one time.  My uncle built one.  It disappeared somehow around the time my grandparents moved.  I had the pleasure of running that steam locomotive.  At an under 30 age of 28,  I would like to see partially assembled steam kits.  Sort of like a build your car (auto manufacturer) website.  You select the options, ie Walschaerts, Southern, Stephenson or Baker vavle gear (this is my biggest grief with model railroad manufacturers); cylinder size; dome size for steam and sand; type of feedwater heater; number of drivers and size; type of trailing truck; tender style and size; and the list goes on and on.  The box goes down the assembly line and the parts and decals get put in and shipped to your LHS or home.
