I have two both the original release and the new version,both engines have trouble tracking,front pilot.On the newer version i put on the traction tire equipped drivers supplied by BLI found that there is no clearence between tires and the shoes and hangers so i had to sand the tires and also file down the shoes and hangers,Also put a shim under the trailing truck to force some of the weight towards the front and this helped.After the mods the Hudson pulls very well tracks well also.The sound well is absolutly great AS far as the MIKE great engine i also have a pair of these and they run nice sound great track very well have run my mikes thru 15 in radius turns without problems One thing about BLI engines they will find even the smallest deviation in track work,I found the Mike to be the most forgiving of track work of all the bli's I own.As far as the smoke generator in the hudson never really checked to see.I think that of the two the hudson is the most impresive as far as looks ,and sound But my Mikes see alot more track time with very few problems.Terry
