Pere Marquette LEGACY Berkshire #1225
Perhaps no group of steam locomotives has done
more to cement the legacy of Lima and their Super
Power design than the “common design” Berkshires
of the 1940s. Rostered by multiple railroads under the
VanSweringen brothers’ control and copied by even
more, these modern 2-8-4s combined power, speed
and efficiency with a well-balanced style.
More than a dozen examples of the design survive today,
with Nickel Plate 765 and Pere Marquette 1225 both now
inspiring fans for more years than they hauled freight.
We’ve even showcased one of 765’s alter-egos as she
masqueraded as C&O 2765 in 1993. These Berks move as
quickly as the real thing every time we release them. Don’t
let yours pass you by!
