[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by fmilhaupt [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by 4884bigboy Another funny thing, Proto 2000 Heritage makes their HO Berkshires in Pere Marquette, but they haven't done one numbered for 1225 or 1223, the other surviving PM berk. [/quote] This is because, unfortunately, the way they designed their tooling, none of the combinations work out to make an accurate PM N-1 Berkshire like 1223 or 1225. The way they did it, they can make an accurate N class and N2 class Berkshire. By the way, the sample PM Berkshire they showed in ads this Fall and the Walthers catalog is supposed to use their N2 body, not the N body they used. Luckily, when it was pointed out to them, they still had time to rearrange things so that the correct number will go on the right body (the N class body and the N2 bodies are different enough that you can tell from eight feet away). The PM Berkshires in the upcoming run, #1235, 1236 and 1239, are all N2s. Now, if they'd only make replacement driver sets available for those of us who bought their first-run PM Berkshires and ended up with those shiny drivers that seem to run on the driver centers. I'd been planning on buying six, but luckily I only bought two of 'em before I found out about that gaffe. I'd gladly spend some extra money to make them look right (though for the price I paid for them, I really shouldn't have to), if they'd just offer the opportunity. At least they corrected the driver tooling on subsequent runs. [/quote] Ah, that explains a lot. Thanks!
