I would gladly take at least one. If the builder piggybacked on the similar
running gear to build a standard Hudson I'd go for that too. The Standard
Hudson had a two-bar crosshead whereas the Royal had a single one, but
presumably that wouldn't pose too much difficulty(?) Apart from the trailing
wheels, most G3 Pacifics had the same running gear as the Hudsons, so there's
another opportunity to save production costs - I'd like a couple of them too.
Hopefully there would be enough time between models to save up for the next!

If a decent running Royal Hudson were to become available in N scale I
would take two and I know another guy who would take one for sure. I
started scratch building one but it's very slow going. Then a friend
of mine who always seems to be in the know (manufacturers often
consult with him regarding accuracy on some things)told me that if it
was going to take me more than about two years to complete it, it may
be worth waiting. To which I replied WHAT, WHAT, WHAT? He wouldn't
(couldn't) tell me more though. Has anyone else got any info on this
possibility of an N scale Royal Hudson becoming available?
