Hi Mark & Bill,

Not ready to purchase yet, just threw away $195 on the Northern.  I had the scale blue prints with me at Allentown, I don't know why I didn't see it.  The trouble with the FlyerChief C & O Berk is that there's not enough room for the front pilot truck (the Polar Express engine has a bigger cow catcher that has enough space for a 4 wheel pilot truck).  But, if another Polar Express Berk is used, they can't be controlled separately.

On the flyer northern, it's about an inch too long and the back of the cab roof is wrong and unfixable, the ledge along the boiler is wrong, no wooten fire boiler (correctable) all the dome on the top are wrong (fixable), light is wrong, (fixable) and the wheels are spaced differently (not fixable).  The flyerchief berk is much closer.

I was with North Penn S Gaugers and one of our members has a scratch built S scale T1  that matches the drawing precisely built by Frank Titman.
