I don't know Pocono's or Northern's, but that is a beautiful engine. The MPC era was fine for me, aside from the nefarious Sound of Steam. Those were the years when we dusted off our post-war trains and rebuilt the train table. My wife purchased FARR #3 (late 90's) and gave it to me for Christmas, it came with a Berkshire #3100 in dark green with Elephant Ears (?) and a nice set of cars. Last year I picked up several other MPC engines because as others have said, the prices are good. I found another #3100 GN with box; a #6200 PRR Turbine (no box), a #8210 "Joshua Cowen" Hudson with box; and the #8006 "Silver Shadow" Atlantic Coast Line Hudson without a box. What I like about these engines is that they are colorful, most are two-tone, have a touch of detail and run great. You can't go wrong it if runs and the price is right. Except for the silly noise. So, the Northern is 4-8-4, and the Berk is 2-8-4, is that about right?
