All this Berkshire talk made me get out stuff.? Here are what look like 2 NKP Berk kits, one sheet brass boiler and one cast.? Does anyone have kits or part built ones that they could show us?

I agree with Tom and Luther, when I saw the weathering I was pretty sure another one of Frank’s builds… Don Thompson

Great work, Mike. Where did you get the trucks from? They remind me to the ones of my SHS cars but I wouldn't strip one of them for a new model. And I have no resource to get those trucks new. What

The railway I model - Essex Terminal Railway in Ontario has two of them. I've already cut out the middle and most of the roof, and am just waiting on doing the ballast chutes. Ken G.

FYI, if anyone thinks “too old”, here is a ballast car conversion that showed up in 2020. Still sitting there, but there are some more in service -G&W/P&W/NECR. Pieter Roos

Hey Mike; This is great! I’ve been waiting a long time for a non-brass version of this ACF hopper. This right here is probably “the future of S”, individuals using the tech available to make

I occasionally tune into a historical IO type group regarding South Dakota--home grounds here!? Occasionally I'll come across some decent RR photos and writings about them.? Last night a letter from

Don't forget that the Berks were sometimes started only to be finished by a second or third builder /si it's about when you mate livestock--unless the heritage can be traced most are mutts of a

Yeh, I thought about both John and Frank. I'm looking for confirmation. Tommy [email protected]> wrote:

I thought the same thing Luther, thanks. If it is his work, I'd like to display it at the museum. Tommy [email protected]> wrote:

Well, Guys, Sorry for taking so long, but after months of tweaking, the ACF 70 Ton Hopper is finally at a point, that I feel comfortable this model will go together as planned. I tried painting it as

Is that a Berkshire? John Bortz built and ran Berkshires including his large scale live steam loco. Maybe have been built and/or owned by John Bortz. Thank You, Bill Lane Modeling the Mighty Pennsy,

The weathering on this loco is very much like Frank Titman did with loco builds. I know Frank built a bunch of SSL&S engines, some when I was still in the club. A move took me away and never to

Yes, with the coupled wheelbase and the total sideplay, you can calculate the allowable radius.? It is just geometry, if any of us still remember. Regarding the AM Northern, haven't some members here

Back when the loco was still being developed Claude put together a Circuit Letter for those who would be building one. I don't recall how long the process took but I bet it was a couple of years. ?

While I wasn't in S scale when SSL&S was flourishing, my reading of documents suggests the first project for the idea was supposed to be a Lima Berkshire, so presumably this is one. As to who put it

Do driver side-play and side rod clearance have anything to do with it? ?AM’s northern has a lot of side-play at the two middle axles and rod clearance to accommodate it. Ben Trousdale

I like it. After all, the Importers have a plate from their builders, usually on loco and tender frames. Tommy [email protected]> wrote:

I can not but you have touched on a subject that I have been thinking hard about. And that is an etched plate for the bottom of my builds with a “Built by Mike Swederska”. Just for this reason.
