castings.
Cold Water Pump Cold water pump, castings from
David Moore.
Berk Cab
The main sheet metal bits (top, sides, front, and back) for this
cab are available from Real Trains.
Clear Vision Window
The boilers on Nickel Plate Berkshires, as with most modern main
line steam, were so big that there wasn't room for a door at
the front of the cab to access the running boards, so they would
often use what was called a clear vision window, manufactured
by the Prime Manufacturing Co. of Milwaukee Wis. This example
is made from bar stock and as on the prototype features real
glass, a hinged center section, and little leaf springs to retain
the glass.
Both clear vision
windows.
