Fox Valley Models HO Scale 2-8-4 Berkshire, Chesapeake & Ohio
In 1925, Lima Locomotive Works introduced the 2-8-4 Berkshire, a revolutionary locomotive that marked the start of the “Super-Power” era in American railroading. The design was further refined by the Van Sweringen brothers, leading to the iconic Nickel Plate Berk by 1934. Today, eight of these historic Berkshires survive, with two still in operation, including Nickel Plate Road #765 and Pere Marquette #1225, the latter of which inspired The Polar Express.
