HUDSON AND MANHATTAN
TUBE TRAIN
No Orders Are
Being Taken At This Time
Well, I got roped into another project. This time it's for something not
produced in quantity by Lionel but just one example made.
It seems that at least one set comprising of three cars was produced
around 1916 for a display for the Hudson And Manhattan Railroad. The power car carried the
number 705 and the trail cars 706 and 707. Not much else is known about them except that
they were alleged to have been on the desk of the first president of the H&M,
Mr.
McAdoo. They later occupied space in Lionel's Museum in the Showroom at 15 East 26th
Street New York.
The artist's rendering below may be the only evidence of what this
unique piece may have looked like.
The Engineering Sample is complete. Below are a few photos.
