That turned out pretty decent. That's not a bad example of an AMC Berk at all. Comparing the model to the photos of the real C&O 2697 looks like they got most of the main features correct or really close. I think it passes the "good enough" eyeball test.
Can you flip the tender over and take a photo of the coupler area please? Wondering if they did the Kadee mounting pad or not. Hopefully it has the NKP 765 RailSounds file with 4 chuffs per rev.
Patiently waiting on my Erie and NKP to be delivered.
Thanks.
