If I had to step up to a Hudson class like used on the 20th Century Ltd., I'd stick with CPR and their Royal Hudsons. I never did find out who designed them. One of these days, perhaps during my next sabbatical, I hope to build a Jubilee using the chassis of one of my American Flyer Atlantic locomotives.
My parents received a congrat telegram from Loewy upon my birth and another when I turned 1 year old.
Actually I liked Norman Bel Geddes. If you are doing Styling, might as well go bonkers.
