If you are a High-Rail guy and operator you would probably like it a lot. I have played with it a lot on my High-Rail layout and the FlyerChief is great.
Since when is a Flyer layout Hi-Rail? This disinformation just confuses the masses. The Berk is probably a great engine at a reasonable price, in the traditional sense. But Hi-rail? How does it compare to the Mikado or Pacific Flyonel put out? Is it in the same ball park? With casted on hand rails… hardly.
I apologize for beating this dead horse, however it is a shame we just can’t agree on the 3 different general categories of S scale model railroading. If I were to read the much anticipated review by Roundhouse Bill where I gather he will refer to it a Hi-rail, and bought the Berk under the pretense that it was indeed Hi-rail, I would be PO’ed.
