Patrick, MJ and BP
I'm glad that you have enjoyed reading this thread. We are fortunate to have such a variety of models available.
I have a few questions for Berkshire owners and operators.
The K-line Berkshires have an unusual motor arrangement with a small motor placed forward in the boiler rather than aft in the fire box area. Lionel has used the old K-Line tooling for the Legacy Lima Berks. How are they as pullers?
MTH and Lionel have both made AMC Berkshires and each has designed the tooling to allow them to change details to correctly model several of the specific versions of the AMC Berks. I believe the MTH models use separately applied brass detail parts for the sand lines. Do the Lionel models use separate parts for the sand lines or are they part of the boiler casting?
