If I might add my $0.02, here's a link to the only two Berkshires built in Canada. #201 & #202 were built by MLW for the Toronto, Hamilton & Buffalo.

The first copy or Trains I ever owned had an article on the TH&B. They were the largest locomotives in Canada when they were built. MLW built them because they could use the ALCO patterns from the C&NW Berks without paying the import duties that would have been paid on locos built in the US by Lima. They were a great example of what an ALCO built NYC Berkshire would have looked like. One of Bob's Lobaugh models of the C&NW Berks would be the place to start for a TH&B locomotive.
The pictures of Southern Kanawha, 2716 on MTH product page don’t do justice to the detail of this engine; so I overlooked it when it was in the 2010 catalog.

I think that happens a lot. The illustrations in both the Lionel and MTH catalogs frequently fail to do the products justice. If they spent a little more on photography they just might be rewarded by more sales. Thanks for sharing the photos and video of your Southern Kanawahas.
