daveklepper - I disagree about the valve gear on the Hudsons; I think the originals with the Walschaerts looked slicker. Part of it was the motion of the eccentric rod as the wheels rotate. <br /> <br />Similarly, I think the Southern Railway's Ps-4 Pacifics and Ts-1 Mountains looked a lot better after their original Baker was replaced with Walschaerts. (Only the last five Ps-4s, 1405-1409, were built with Walschaerts.) <br /> <br />I say this even with the feeling that mechanically, the Baker was the better gear. <br /> <br />Old Timer
