Product description
Model: The locomotive is new tooling and is constructed of metal.
It has a frame, superstructure with boiler, and cab constructed
of die-cast zinc. Other separately applied parts are mostly constructed of
brass. This is a highly detailed model with many separately applied parts
and a detailed engineer's cab. The sand hatch can be opened
as can the smoke box door with central locking. The cab doors and much more
can be opened. The locomotive has an mfx digital decoder with 32 functions,
controlled high efficiency propulsion, and a sound generator with operating
sounds synchronized with the wheels as well as extensive sound functions.
It can be operated with AC power, DC power, Märklin Digital, and DCC.

The locomotive has a built-in buffer capacitor. All driving axles powered.
The locomotive has a built-in smoke unit with smoke exhaust
synchronized with the wheels, multiple step cylinder steam,
and a steam whistle.

The locomotive has running gear lights and triple headlights with a light
color correct for the era and that change over with the direction of travel.
The headlights will work in conventional operation and can be controlled
digitally. Maintenance-free, warm white LEDs are used for the lighting.
The locomotive has a red marker light that can be controlled.
The locomotive has cab lighting and multi-colored firebox lighting
(flickering).

The locomotive comes with sprung buffers. There is a reproduction
of the prototype coupler on the front and a remote-controlled Telex
coupler on the rear of the tender, which can be replaced by either
of the other types of coupler. The valve gear switchover is in 3 steps
(forward, reverse, continuous operation). An accessory package with a
reproduction of the prototype coupler, a Telex coupler, smoke fluid,
and a figure of a locomotive engineer and a fireman is included with
the locomotive. The locomotive is mounted on an aluminum base painted
black for display purposes.

Minimum radius for operation 1,020 mm / 40-3/16". Length over the buffers
83.8 cm / 33". Weight approximately 8.2 kilograms / 18 pounds 1 ounce.

USA Trains made a Hudson of the kind you seek, but in 1/29th scale - electric and track-power. Aster made one in live steam and electric, also track power, in 1/32nd scale - both long 'out of print'. Not sure if MTH made a track-powered version, also in 1/32nd scale. TMK, LGB never made a Hudson in their odd scale of 1/25 or 1/27. They made three mikes all based on the same chassis, track-powered, a Santa Fe, a 141 in 1/26 or 1/27, and a White Pass mike in 1/22.5.

But a 'G scale' Hudson? It depends what YOU call 'G scale'.

Good luck selling your 1/32nd scale Gauge 1 French model loco.

It's Made In Germany not France.
TAC said French Model... i.e. a model of a French loco... (we all know Marklin is in Germany)

"The mighty class 241 A steam locomotive appeared on France's rails at the start of the Thirties. "

(by the way some Marklin is assembled in Hungary)

Dear Mr Ray - your German-made model is a model of a FRENCH heavy passenger locomotive. Two have been preserved - one in the French National Rail Museum in Mulhouse, the other in Switzerland.

From the Marklin website - 'The class 241 A 1 remains preserved at the Mulhouse Railroad Museum as well as in Switzerland as road number 241 A 65, the largest operational steam locomotive in Europe.'

It is in German, but has excellent subtitles.
Here's a New York Central Hudson for sale at Charles Ro, it's listed in his g scale collection fillers. RU20002S - NYC 5343 J1E HUDSON NEW AS IS (3dcartstores.com)
He wants to trade.... first post.
Thanks for the info Greg I'm not blind. I put it out there anyway. Sometimes people will buy something if they can't trade for it and then sell what they're trying to trade but hey, you know everything Greg, you're a mind reader, electrical extraordinaire, built your own custom detailed, painted and decaled trains that I haven't seen, predict weather and major disasters, pulled a rabbit out of your ass. If I wanted to trade something and someone posted something I was looking for and was for sale I would appreciate it. Maybe you should think sometimes before you open your big sarcastic pie hole.

I realize you're trying to trade, or sell another to fund the purchase, but I ran across this one.

Best of luck. I don't think I ever saw one of those come up for sale. They are 1/29th scale - my pal has one and it's the same size as my 1/29 Dreyfus Hudson.
