The New York Central commissioned famed
industrial designer Henry Dreyfuss to sculpt the streamlined shape for
the ten J3 Hudson locomotives slated to pull the 20th Century Limited
train.  June 15, 1938 marked the inaugural run from New York
to Chicago in just 16 hours.  70 years later, Broadway Limited
Imports celebrates the pinnacle of the streamlined era with this
spectacular HO recreation.
