Hello Nick, I just came across your post when I searched Metro-North. I have a layout, N scale, but I was looking for HO scale Metro-North equipment, I live in NY and commute on Metro-North each day to school. I am sorry to give you the bad news but even after I went thru an exhaustive search, I could not find the CDOT Budd M2s. M2s do not run on the Hudson line, they run on the New Haven, due to Connecticut state law about no 3rd rail, they are electrics with both 3rd rail shoes and pantographs. They run up the Harlem line until the Woodlawn interlocking then go into New Haven territory from there on. Any electric only runs as far as Croton-Harmon, the end of 3rd rail territory. I know this well considering my uncle is an engineer/trainmaster. I found unpowered models of the LIRR M1s (you may be interested in those) but they stopped making them and cost over $300/pair. I am sorry to give you the bad news but its better having someone let you know than not gettin a response. Bye good luck <br /> <br />Tim
