I am curious how you made a T-1.  I have wanted to make one for a long time but to do it right is really tough.  What did you use for a mech?

I have not built it yet but am looking at the possibility of a Berkshire Locomotive adding a 2 axle pilot and modifying the shell as needed
not overly concerned about the locomotive length, just something that resembles a T-1.

The bigger challenge is the tender, for which I will have to slice and dice and add or build from scratch, as it is much longer than any
tender that I am aware of currently available. and the tender trucks will be a challenge unless there is something close to them in
3D printing, or a cheap find on the vowel-bay.

Everything is rather tentative at this point, but making an inventory of what is needed in comparison to what is available.

Sincerely--

How were you planning to change the Berk's spoked drivers? 

At one point I was thinking of building one from a Bachmann N&W 611 and Athearn Big Boy parts but they wanted an arm and a leg for just a driver set.

I keep holding out hope that Broadway Limited will do an N scale version

yes, there are definite limitations...but i have a couple Berkshires and PRR had none.
I include Reading, B&O and Erie in my plans. The Reading T-1 photos I have seen
look something like the Berkshire shell. Not sure if I will be able to have correct
drivers...but then nothing ventured...
We'll see what happens...if nothing materializes by summer's end, the Berkshires
with go to eBay.
