<p>[quote user="Dr D"]</p> <p>"Just think of it - AN ORIGINAL J1e NYC HUDSON RESTORED! - Makes the mind race!</p> <p>Doc</p> <div style="clear:both;"> [/quote]</div> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <div style="clear:both;">You're getting a bit carried away there, an original trailing truck does not make the whole build "original", at least not in my book.</div> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <div style="clear:both;">While it would be nice, no scratch that, AMAZING to have a reproduction of an NYC Hudson running, it would lack one thing: originality. No matter how accurate a reproduction is, it still isn't the same as the prototype that ran the rails, was in the moment, and waited for decades before being brought back from the brink.</div> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <div style="clear:both;">If I won the lottery, and had the choice between a new-build NYC Hudson or one of the NYC Mowhawks, I'd choose one of the Mohawks. Because it is, in fact, <em>the original. It was there, <span style="text-decoration:underline;">in the moment</span>.</em> </div> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <div style="clear:both;">YOU HEAR US, ELKHEART!!! LET GO OF 3001 BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE FOR HER!!!</div> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <div style="clear:both;">Nothing can stand in for an original and be "the same".</div> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <div style="clear:both;">But that's just me,</div> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <div style="clear:both;">S.
