Charlie - OK, you're right, that's what I had heard in the past, probably from you. The NYC Hudson was tested by the Q prior to construction of their first S-4's, not the later S-4-A's. Wonder what design features, if any, from the NYC Hudsons were incorporated into the Q's 4-6-4's? The NYC J-1's and later classes were all awesome passenger locomotives for their era. Does anyone know what happened to the photo that Charlie describes? Sure would enjoy seeing it. Anyway, getting back to Mike's musings, would be interesting to see what you could do to "Burlingtonize" a NYC Class J-1. ALCO 1927 builder's photos of 5200 shown below.

All-

At one of the Little Q Aurora Swap Meets or maybe it was an early BRHS Meet there I saw a photo of a NYC Hudson on the Aurora Track Elevation. 

I would assume that it was a J1 as they were built after the Track Elevation Project and before the Q built the first S4s.   The time window for the photo would likely be 1927-1930.

The J3a “Super Hudsons” weren’t built until 1937-38 after the Q finished building S4s and I doubt they would bother to borrow one as they were well satisfied with their own design.
