Born of the meticulous craftsmanship of the prewar era, the Lionel 773 Hudson is a symbol for a generation. Its scale proportions, unmatched performance, and sheer dominance of the rails still convey the power of Lionel leadership. The Lionel Century 773 is created using the original 1930's-era 700E tools crafted by La Precisa, the Italian tool-house once owned by the Lionel Corporation works manager Mario Caruso. And while the Century 773 Hudson has the exacting quality of the prewar era, it also features the cutting edge innovations of late 20th century Lionel.
A rugged Pullmor Classic motor powers the massive, Magne-Traction drive wheels. Count on total locomotive control, thanks to the 773's Command-equipped design. The amazing RailSounds Hudson digital sound system creates an unmatched aura of realism. The tender mounted Electro-coupler lets you uncouple anywhere, anytime, in Command operations. And much, much more. The Lionel Century Club 773 Hudson. The best of yesterday with the promise of tomorrow. today.
