By: djacobsen Date: May 5, 2013, 7:56 am --------------------------------------------------------- We all seem to have a locomotive that falls into the Dream Locomotive category. For me it's the Lionel 221 Dreyfuss Hudson with the 221W tender. I've looked at a few, usually out of my price range or they were missing enough parts that it would drive the price of rebuilding it out of my train fund range. Yesterday, I attained my Dream! I was able to trade a fellow a box of HO cars & locomotives that I was selling for $35.00 on Craigslist to him for his 221 & 221W tender. It's not perfect, it does have a few chips in the paint & a dent in the tender, but overall, it's perfect in my eyes. I haven't put it on the track yet, I need to clean & lube it, but it's sitting on a couple pieces of track where I can admire it while sitting here at the computer.
