c.sam posted:. Did we ever decide if they are smaller than the 'other' scale Berks? I'm trying to remember some of the discussion comments that flew around back then.
Yes, because they were based on a smaller prototype that evolved from the Mikado heres the thread:
As nice as that appears, why did you let it go if I may ask?
Once I got used to the piping, it lost its "wow" factor for me. While the soundset is legacy, my personal taste found it to be a bit ho hum. Again, its my "personal taste", yourself and others may certainly think otherwise.
(My new purchases are always compared to my first gen legacy berk and M1b. Of what I own ( which doesn't include a VL challenger or bigboy)These two locomotives still, IMO have superior sound and represent the pinnacle of Lionels steam sounds.I.E each has its own unique chuff I've not heard on any other Legacy loco. Lately Lionel seems to have gone the way of MTH a bit. More frequent repeats of generic sounds....again, IMO.)
It was sold off to fund something else of greater interest.
Anyone else have one of these?
In the end. I hope you enjoy your new Berkshire Sam!
