HO Brass - CIL 2258.1 CB&Q Burlington S-4 4-6-4 #3001 w/ Mars Light BoxPox Main Driver

To think of brass steam and not think of Challenger Imports Ltd. is to miss some of the finest work ever produced in the hobby. This HO scale CB&Q S-4 Hudson #3001 is a shining example — a 1998 Samhongsa-built model, representing the absolute peak of late Korean brass production.

Only 63 units of this version were imported, making it both rare and highly desirable among Burlington or Hudson 4-6-4 collectors.

• Factory Painted with crisp lettering and prototypical finish

• Powerful can motor – runs smooth and quiet

• Operating directional lights and functional Mars light

This model is everything collectors look for: rarity, quality, detail, and performance. It runs beautifully and displays even better — a tribute to both the CB&Q's iconic Hudson design and Samhongsa's legendary craftsmanship.

Only one available. A must-have for any serious Burlington or brass enthusiast
