Superdetailing Semi Scale Berkshire

Download as many pictures of Pere Marquette 1225 you can find and compare with what you have. Things I like to add are rope pulls on the bell and whistle. Scale coupler up front with a lift bar and chains. Cab apron to bridge the gap to the tender. Shorten the drawbar as much as possible that will still allow the engine to negotiate your tightest curves. 

I am not familiar with what comes with this engine. If it is missing cab light, class lights you could work on those.

I'll have to give it a go.  I like the enhanced plow on the front and the tender im going to use it with actually is pretty decent about the gap so I'm good with that respect.  I can def do the wire for the bell but i broke the whistle long ago so i'll forget about that one for now.  I might give the thing some light weathering but i dont want to weather the tender because it was from my first train set which i want to keep pristine.
