Charlie writes: I purchased this Erector Hudson several years ago from the late John Drury, who built it. His quality of workmanship is exemplary and well known, and this model is no exception. The locomotive and its tender are beautifully assembled, right down to the correct small-headed screws. They occupy a permanent position in my den, right above my desk.
