What is it?! 4-6-4

I have been in N Scale for over 20 years and have never seen this engine before, its a 4-6-4 but its not the Kato/ConCor one we're used to.  Anybody know who made this model and when?  I'm guessing its one of the very early N scale steamers.

Looks like the Arnold Rapido 4-6-4 to me.  They made a 4-6-2 Pacific, which was a huge success (and still is, in many ways).
Later on, they slapped a
4 wheel trailing truck on it and called it a Hudson.

 :|                  Yes,The Arnold Hudson Verson of their USRA Pacific. I own one of these Santa Fe beauties because I knew the Santa Fe owned 4-6-4's eventhough I knew they were different looking more modern locomotives. I considered making a more correct looking Santa Fe Hudson usuing a shortened Bachmann Santa Fe Northern boiler on a Con Cor  J3a Mech,but never did. Nate Goodman (Nato). Salt Lake, Utah.
