NowI know my interest are changing. Passed up a 1953 Bentley Mark VI to get this
Was a LOT cheaper!!! Runs as good as it looks. Never had a C&O Berkshire before.
I’ll take one. I’ve always liked Chessie and all its counterparts.
Just think, the Bentley you’d have to worry about getting scratched, stolen. Repair bills will be high. Costs alot to run.
the Berkshire is far better!! And is more fun on rainy days![;)]
-G
Neither has anyone else - the C&O called 'em “Kanawahs” … [:D]
GAry I saw that in the information and history of the engine AFTER I posted the pictures. [banghead] Sone day I will READ the instructions BEFORE I speak. Thank you for the correction.
The History is very interesting to read on this unit.
C&O men call 'em “Kanawhas”. Nice looking engine.
C&O had some of the prettiest steamers ever to grace the rails, they’re hard to resist!
The BLI C&O 2-10-4 Texan is the perfect mate for the Kanawha. IMHO They are some of the nicest looking steam engines around. Jim
Loco looks great! But what’s up with the pick axe and bloody towel hanging on the wall behind it?[:-^]
As nice as that loco is I would have picked the Bentley.[;)]
Loathar, i see a guest spot on CSI for you!!!
Somebody Touched the Big Boy! [:D]
Already have this:
Bentley was an overkill. Trying to SELL cars not buy them (got 16 now). But it is like Locomotives have around 50 BUT there is always room for one more!! Besides I am hooked on the sound units!!!
I agree Jim. With the H8 all I need is the 2-10-4 for the set, more or less.
Umm…do you have Photoshop??? You can erase the ummm…undesireable elements!!![:P]

Of course he saw it…
Far has he travelled and much has he seen…for he is Loathar of The Hill People!!![:P]
The Loco should have cheaper insurance rates too!!!

Very nice looking loco!
George,
What a score. You said that you were trying to downsize. The locos take a little less storage space.
Our next train show will be at Portland in February. We will see what kind of control we have. I am still looking for NP cars.

Not to stray off topic, but…16 cars!!! The most I’ve ever had at one time was 2… A '95 TA and my Integra…opposite ends of the tuner spectrum, but I love them both…
btw, do you own a Testarossa? Your avatar leads me to think you do[:D]
You can never have enough cars Mustanggt, lol. At one time in my life I owned 7 and I loved them all. I had to downsize when I got married but I’m slowly adding as the years go by.
Yes, 1988 with 10385 miles and a VANDELS dent in the roof [censored]
