I have ordered two and put deposits down and have been fighting the urge for a third one.

I was holding out for the U-4b (2023!) but looking at the projected release date and talking to my cardiologist, maybe I had better jump on one of the Hudsons!

Jason and Rapido produce some top-notch products. I'm sure I'll find an excuse to run a Royal Hudson on my mostly New york Central/PRR layout Whistling

ALL drivers gearedYes

Speaker under the stack! Yes

Thanks for the heads-up Brent!

Cheers, Ed

This raises the bar substantially.  The weight, alone, would make this a very desirable puller.
