Gary and I have corresponded for years. We first met at Charles Ro many years ago. Sort of an open house and K-Line was there showing off the pre production Berkshires. We both had them on order.
Gary, you have run those Berks. for quite some time. Getting close to 20 years. Mostly doubleheaded but always pulling a long consist, mostly Atlas cars which do carry some weight. Through the years I know they’ve had electronic upgrades such as EOB. I don’t ever remember you having an issue with the drivetrain. For all the talk of cheap motors mounted in the wrong direction. They seem to be holding up pretty well.
For those that have been on the Forum a long time. I’m going to throw out the name Les Line. He was a faithful K-Line supporter who liked NYC and B&A Steam. I don’t know what it was but he had some connection. Those of us that model these roads are grateful for what influence he had with K-Line. They didn’t offer many scale models but we got a Hudson, Berkshire and Tank engine from them. All highly detailed, priced good and have stood the test of time.
