For those interested in O scale models we have a new series on the Three Rail Scale Forum, the O Scale Locomotive Guide.

 

The series began with a review of O Scale Berkshire models.  Since 1999 we have seen new tooling introduced to manufacture diecast models of three different families of 2-8-4 designs with several more detail variations available along with a variety of conventional and command control options.  Plus, we also have brass models of the massive Erie Berkshires about to reach the market.

 

If you are interested in O Scale Berkshires follow the link and check out the O Scale Locomotive Guide to Berkshires.

 

Oh, and Kanawhas too!

PRRJIM has mentioned several earlier brass models on the 3RS thread but you are the only one to mention the Alco/C&NW Breks.  And you have pictures!  Along with the L&N Big Emmas they are the only Berks built in numbers for which there is not a modern O scale model.  Yours look great.

 

It would be great if you could post those photos and add some comments on the Lobaugh models on the 3RS thread.

 

Happy Thanksgiving everybody! 

Feel free to move them.  I struggle with Photobucket, and they move my photos around so I have to search for them.  Ugh.

 

The L&N Berk was done by USH to perfection, and they do show up on eBay for just over $600.  They could run on 3-rail track, but it would probably have to be O-120.  They were not a great seller, since they were huge, different, and not commonly seen by train nuts.

 

I would have one, but I already have way too many models.  Nice thread in the 3RS section!
