Tatans,

If I am not mistaken the old Berky I have was manufactured by Mantua.

$35.00 is a great deal for a tune-up job, where is this "fix-it-up" guy located? It might be worth it for me to have the work done!

Thanks,

Ryan

Ryan: My berk is an old United brass engine which needed a ton of work, these locos are running @ $500 to $700 if they are available( I paid $40 at an auction-as it was in bad shape) as I said I'm sure a major reno would have cost me a pile if the guy had not taken pity on me AND the engine,Oh, he's located in Calgary, Alberta, that's in that really big country to the (frozen) north of you. I'm sure there must be someone closer to you BUT --get an estimate!!!

Tatans,

I'll say that would be a drive! Never been to Canada though..... someday would like to visit! Yep, a local estimate is in order

Thanks,

Ryan

Youv'e got to love the CPR's T1b and T1c Selkirks. They were streamlined beauties, plus they could haul @$$!

Come on, the Hudsons were second only to the Selkirks (which shared a boiler with your precious northerns)
