In 1937, Lionel unveiled what would become one of the most famous locomotives ever in model trainsthe legendary 700E Scale Hudson. Based on the J1-e class of New York Centrals world-famous Hudson engines, the Lionel prewar model aimed for 1/48th scale, rivet-for-rivet perfection. The ultimate statement piece in trains, this aristocrat of models instantly set the century-standard for engineering excellence and detailed realism that is as impressive today as it was over 70 years ago.
Our lofty goal today is the same as it was in the early days of Lionelto create the most innovative, ground-breaking model trains in the world. To complete the circle of excellence begun in Lionels earliest days, we proudly present the VISION 700E Scale Hudson, equipped with some of the most sophisticated and innovative features ever offered in model trains. As a VISION Line locomotive, the legendary Lionel scale J1-e has been re-engineered to give you the most authentic, technically advanced Hudson ever made, with unprecedented operational realism and user control. Equipped with the Lionel LEGACY Control System, a full array of lighting options, smoke and steam effects, and other features are synchronized to the unequaled, ultra-realistic RailSounds sound system. Using much of the tooling that built the first 700E, Lionel offers the new scale J1-e in the original #5344 number. In addition, the VISION Scale Hudson is also available in a 763E-inspired gunmetal grey paint scheme.

Realistic WHISTLE STEAM effects
Operating smoke from stack
Fan-driven smoke unit with adjustable smoke output delivers varying intensity of smoke to main stack and whistle.
Most steam effects are synchronized to the RailSounds sound system. Upgraded Sound Features!
LEGACY RailSounds sounds system synchronizes realistic sounds to nearly all aspects of locomotive operation, features, and effects. This product also includes two state of the art FatBoy speakers for the ultimate in sound repro- duction. Just look at how many ways you can enhance the sound experience:
Control realistic sounds synchronized to TruRail Steam features including whistle steam.
Independently adjustable volume control allows you to use the Remote Controller to lower the level of background ef- fects (such as chuffing) while keeping operator-controlled effects (such as the whistle) at full volume
Bell sounds are synchronized to actual movement of swinging bell
TruRail Dialog Activate upgraded dialog features which boast the most realistic dialogue scenes and authentic railroad terminology possible. Also, dialog scenes can change with engine operation and user control.
Six official railroad speeds with CrewTalk dialogue
TruRail Signals Activate the quilling whistle and user playable bell featuring continuous or single strike sounds with variable intensity. Theres a dedicated CAB-2 control for both whistle and bell functions.
TruRail Laboring Control the variable laboring sounds with 32 levels of simu- lated dynamic load of the locomotive.
TruRail Chuff Experience prototypical four-chuffs per revolution chuffing sound synchronized with linkage and drive wheel position. Other High-End Features
LEGACY Control System equipped You can run the in LEGACY Control mode, in TrainMaster Control mode, or in Conven- tional mode with a standard transformer
