Larry Koehl wrote in Mud Ring, April 2014
- In the April 1935 issue of The Modelmaker, a small classified ad by L. D. Langworthy of Rhode Island appeared. He offered drawings and castings in 3/4 inch scale for the New York Central Hudson. The offering was well received as this "new", larger scale was just ramping up. A third (3-1/2 inch gauge) rail to accommodate it was to be added to Carl Purinton's track for the annual Brotherhood meet later that year.
- The 3/4 inch Hudson that was sold by Friends was actually a model designed and originally sold by L. D. Langworthy of Westerly, Rhode Island. Yankee Shop / Friends bought the design from Mr. Langworthy.
