Reply to "Lionel Berk Nickel Plate #779"

Sevierville  I use Lionel tubular 0-27 profile.     My father-in-law worked at Lima Locomotive Works from the early 40's thru the end when the plant became Clark Equipment.  He when from building Steam to Diesel, Road Construction equipment to Fork Lifts and such.  He mostly had a hand in building the 779.  He retire when Clark closed the plant in 1980.   He watched them Tear down the last of LLW main building along South Main st in Lima.   He lived in Delphos Ohio at the just a few  blocks from the Western end of the AC&Y railroad.  A really good book about Lima Locomotive Works is  "Lima the History" by Eric Hirsimaki.
