Reply to "K-Line/Lionel/MTH Berkshire hybrid"

Lou, K-Line never made a heavy Mikado.  Just the USRA Light, which MTH had already done better.  Lionel was the only one to tool up a proper USRA Heavy, and it has the backwards motor (because I presume it uses the same chassis as the K-Line Light.)  That's the one I would like to upgrade. 

The other Lionel Mikado isn't a USRA Light or Heavy.  It's based on the Southern 4501 prototype.  It's never been reissued with Legacy upgrades, and now that Lionel seems to have standardized on the ex-K-Line tooling, I doubt that it will be.
