PW-736-1 1950-51 BERK Serial #: 18454LN
736 BERKSHIRE 2-8-4 STEAM LOCO AND TENDER (BUILT 1950 TO 1951 ONLY)
 |
| This is the very first version of the 736 Berkshire loco with rubber-stamped numbers (instead of heat-stamped numbers used on later models) and (of considerable collectors importance) with four window panes on the cab windows instead of three as found on other 1950 models of this BerkshireCataloged in 1950 with a deluxe 2671W tender with six wheel trucks, the special bonus with this loco is that the tender top has the three holes for lights in the rear of the tender, which is how a few of the original 736's were shippedTender does not have lights (none did as far as we can tell), and the lights had to be addedImportantly, we emphasise that this first version is fully correct with cab windows with four simulated window panes (instead of three), rubber-stamped numbers and a diecast trailing truckThe worm drive (exclusive to Post-War Berkshires and 773 Hudsons) provides unequaled and oh-so-smooth operationThe loco is graded Like New (C8) and is fully guaranteed for many years if not forever!
