BLI made the Hudsons in HO. They are out of Production but can be found on ebay. Same with their S1b Niagara's. Rivarossi made a Streamlined Hudson Eons ago, but it isn't as accurate as some of today's products.

Riverossi also made a standard Hudson in addition to the streamlined one.  They occasionally show up on auction sites & at swap meets.

Retail prices on the BLI Hudson were - sound unit -$330, silent unit - $230.  Street prices were less - some shops may have a left-over one in stock at a discount.

NYCentralgirl,
  Might you be interested in the famed NYC 20th Century Limited, which Walthers is about to produce, circa 1949?

IHC also makes a Hudson which looks vaguely like the NYC J-5.  I think it comes in standard and semi-streamlined.  I have two of them and they are nice locos - in line with the new IHC products.   Much less expensive than the Broadway Limited and much better than the old Rivarossi. 
Get a copy of Model Railroader and look at the selection and prices in the Standard Hoppy Supply and Trainworld ads.  Or look for either's website.
