BERKSHIRE LOCO QUESTION

MilwRdPaulOGR Forum Member

Hi everyone, On page 22 of the latest Lionel catalog, there are 3 berkshires. All 3 of them have a "archway" on the front of the boiler surrounding the headlight. What is that called or what is its purpose? The 4 on the next page, have what I think are called the "coffin" feedwater heater, an enclosed tube on the top and front of the boiler. Am I correct on that? Thanks, MilwRdPaul

The "archway" on the Berkshires on page 22 is a Coffin feedwater heater. The engines on page 23 are equipped with Elesco feedwater heaters.
