@0-Gauge CJ posted:Just curious, what is the prototype history of the green B&A berk? I recently picked up one of the K-Line ones. I am set on getting one of the Vision Class A engines and I want to pick up a few other things, but I'd add this to the list of serious contenders for things I'd consider.
Most of the history. Has been lost to time. I’ve been told one berk and one Hudson were painted this way for some special event in the late 30’s. Others have stated it was normal practice for several engines to be painted this way. Their are no known color pics of this. Most if not all in the know have left us. So were berks Hudson painted this way on the B&A? To some extent yes.
