O Scale Locomotive Guide: Hudsons

Thanks, I will.  I have the two Legacy Berks, large and small (modified to make it more scale), and like both.  I will be interesting in reading your reviews of all the scale Berks available.

Great idea. Thanks for the heads up.

Scale, huh? I'll play: Stock Lobaugh Berkshire, Ca. 1940:

Ever-so-slightly modified:

And, of course, seriously modified:

Not posted are the Harriman Mikados that have started life as a CNW berk kit.

Hmmm - I guess I did not carefully read your lead- in.  You were just re-directing us.

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!

Feel free to move them.

Thanks bob.  I just re-posted your photos over on the 3RS thread.  They are a great addition, not just on the history of O scale Berkshire models but for anyone interested in a C&NW Berk.

Great work on all your Lobaugh Berks.  I really like the MP Model!
