When I'm at York I would like to get the new Nickel Plate Berkshire with Rich Melvin's announcements, and then get Rich to sign the box, as he is offering to do. Is this a Lionel or an MTH and does anyone know where I might get one?
Thanks!

It is a Lionel model, and one of our Forum sponsors posted recently he had one.
I have an MTH 769 available
Thanks guys! The one I want has Rich's voice on it. Is that the new Lionel?
My LHS has/had one- a pretty loco.
Here is the info
Regarded as one of the finest steam locomotive designs of all time, the Berkshires built by the Lima Locomotive Works for the various Van Sweringan-owned railroads remain a symbol of the pinacle of steam locomotive engineering. Two of these locomotives remain active today and many others have been preserved.
Nickel Plate #765 will be decorated to match her most recent excursion appearance and will also include certificate signed by the locomotive crew.
Lionel 2014 Signature Edition
Thanks guys! The one I want has Rich's voice on it. Is that the new Lionel?
There are two with Rich Melvins voice. The most recent from 2014 has Rich and whistle steam. The previous one from a few years ago has Rich's voice but no whistle steam. I have the most recent one and it looks, sounds, and runs great.
The new Berk is a winner from the get go. Another Legacy locomotive to my roster. Charlie Ro has sold many of them and they have been standing tall. I already have my 765 box in the car for Rich to sign at York.
Do ALL the new Legacy Berks have the extra head mars light that can be added?
The 765 does. I can not say for others.
I really liked the one I saw at the LHS and, if I had the $$$, I could be tempted to buy one.

We have one available still, if you are interested please let me know.
Hi! I am interested - can you bring the locomotive to York so I can get Rich Melvin to sign the box?
Please let me know.
Thanks!
