    Smoke consumers: All the P&LE Berks had them. The only other NYC engine I have seen with them is one in Al Staufer's "Steam Power...." book, Pacific 9253, hmm, built in 1926..... that's interesting.
    Hank, I think they were quite unknown unless one lived along the P&LE. They had such short lives.
    Russell, have you seen the Classic Trains "Steam Glory 2?" It has a great article on Berks of all roads.

    Oh, yeah. I seem to have collected everything I can find on Berks. Back in the early 60s I came across the Nickel Plate 759 at Steam Town in Bellow Falls, Vermont. It was like a morgue there and I found all those dead steamers very depressing. Then when I found out they were restoring that engine to run again, for some reason I took an interest in all of that wheel arrangement.
