Was curious if any of the talented re painters would consider doing a Soo Line Northern 4-8-4, I don't think the Soo Ran any Berk's but one sure would look good with some Soo line on the Tender...

I could try out on the gtrax northern.But is it ok with the vanderbuilt tender? Otherwise I'll have to use the berk tender.Could you send me a pic of the SOO paint scheme? Can't tell without the colors.
Someone else could do the 2-8-2,since I do not own any britkits payware at the moment.

I have some other repaints for the Northern 4-8-4 they used the Berkshire Tender I think Buzz did one for the Western Maryland a while ago. The Berkshire tender works and looks fine with the Northern. Here is the paint scheme for the Tender And before I get to far ahead of myself, Thank You for your time and effort..

Sadly the tender is too small compared to the prototype, but that can't be fixed, still looks really nice though !!*ok*!!

I think the Brit kits tenders are smaller in size than the Berkshire.

The SP oil tender wouldn't do,since I believe this particular engine is coal fired. The best now could be the berk tender in my opinion.

I agree. Not only will we have a fine looking Northern, but put that tender behind your favorite Berkshire and you got a Soo line Berkshire... Pretty sweet deal in my book.. !!*ok*!! !*salute*!
