Sorry, I'm a bit late, but I needed new batteries for my camera, but I had to get some new close-ups of the Polar Express.

Ya i have the same set, love it. Only complaint i have is how short lifed the straction tires were...5 months later and they are shot needed new rubber eh, maybe it was storage time or w/e b4 i got it, but the engines a beast

Haven't had any issues with the rubber on the traction tires yet, but then I've only had it a couple months, plus its been in a box most of the time (only recently set it up permanently), so the wear has been limited.  But, yeah I really do love that Berkshire engine, she is just beautiful.  I can't imagine starting my collection with anything other than this awesome engine.

eness76 - That steel switcher in the background, is that custom painted?

It was a special run from MTH.  They also did Weirton Steel switchers as well.
