First off happy new year to all. I have been researching K-Line Berkshires and have not found evidence of them building any scale versions of the NKP or PM versions. I would like to have one if they ever made them as I have always liked the detailing on them. I want to build a NKP 765 that will be able to run on 031 curves. Anyone able to help? Pics and model numbers?
Thanks.
Tom

The K-Line Berks (and Lionel Legacy reissues) are models of the original Lima designed locomotives of the 1920s. The NKP and PM Berks are built to a later design produced by the Advisory Mechanical Committee of the Van Sweringen Lines. AMC Berks have taller drivers among other differences and have been made by Lionel and MTH.
To the best of my knowledge, they never made one, certainly not a scale one. I don't think a scale Berk can manage curves tighter than O-54.
The reason I asked is K-Line built some scale berks that will run on 031 curves. K3653-7050cc is one model I found. Only problem is they are all the early Lima style with smaller drivers and the feed water heaters. I want one of the later style built in the AMC design. I do not know if K-Line ever built any that is why I asked the question.
