New MTH Dreyfuss 20th Century Ltd.

�includes Engine, Tender and Five Cars

New York Central 4-6-4 Dreyfuss Steam Engine

As public interest in aerodynamics increased in the 1930s, the railroads
faced pressure to be� or at least look� faster and more modern. Their answer
was the streamliner, a smooth cover for the utilitarian and bulky steam
engine. Henry Dreyfuss� 1938 design for the New York Central�s Hudson was
undoubtedly the twentieth century�s most successful effort at streamlining a
steam engine. Rather than replicating the shroud-like drapes previous
designers had used to cover, and try to disguise, the steam engines,
Dreyfuss chose to work with the lines of the engine itself. He left most of
the lower running gear exposed to make routine maintenance easier to
perform, and he kept the shape of the cover close to the engine's body. It
was his elegant, sleek touches� the spherical front, covered domes, and
extended tender� that gave this handsome streamliner its distinctively
modern look and made it the symbol of the NYC, used in emblems and
advertising for years to come.

M.T.H. introduces in our Premier line this prototypical scale model of
Dreyfuss� famous Twentieth Century Limited. This streamlined 4-6-4 Hudson
model accurately depicts realistic details, and the standard and optional
features you have come to expect from M.T.H.

The engine and tender set opened once in train shop (3 weeks ago) for
confirmation of order� Neither the engine set nor the cars have ever been
run. I am only selling this set because I find I can no longer afford to
keep it. This set is, for all intensive purposes, new, and is in mint
condition. Will ship anywhere in the world.
