Lionel Trains Steam Engine 733

The 773 Steam Engine (usually referred to as “The Hudson”) was introduced by Lionel Model Trains in 1950. The Lionel 773 Steam Engine was available for only one year.

Lionel Trains reintroduced a modified version of the 773 Steam Engine in 1964. This Lionel model was sold for three years (through 1966).

The 773 Steam Engine was the largest steam engine produced in the postwar era. It was decorated with a bell, whistle and turbo generator. These were located on the top of the boiler. A complete set of drive wheel hardware accented the large, spoked drive wheels. The open-grill cow catcher was unique to the Hudson in the postwar era.
