The Disassembly and Reassembly of a pre war Lionel “Hudson” Locomotive 

This video is awesome ! You have to disassemble one of these masterpieces from Mr. Cohen to really appreciate the talent Mr.Hagar displays in this video.He has certainly done many of these . If you can do this like he did ....without dropping a screw, losing a spring, a washer,forgetting the ladders ,mixing up the screws, fumbling with the leading truck and its washers and springs and screws and lockwasher, without crushing a wire, well you get the point. Thank you for taking the time to show in detail ,with valuable tips , how to disassemble and reassemble one of these almost 90 year old icons...

This has been a great video, I watched most of it on my TV for better detail. Thank you!

This gentleman’s skill is evident also if you have ever worked with slotted screws, his steady hands are impressive.

Love the video!! Great job. Wish I could send mine to you an have you go through it and repair it.

I’d love to see your opinion on the various reissues Hudsons by Lionel and other 3 rail manufacturers.

As much as I’m impressed with the Hudson, I’m really impressed with the 5B test set. Since I have postwar O gauge, I also have prewar O gauge along with Standard gauge and do all my own maintenance and repairs. I just lust for a 5B test set but they probably are more rare than the Hudson.
