I bought this B&O steamer #7404 on e bay last year. It is a Berkshire 2-8-4 and it is great. Does anyone know when it was built?
I don't find it in any Williams catalog I have.

Dear Jim,

Does it have whistle and bell? 

Look for a number on the end of the box.  Usually "Berk ###"

I have only a few old Williams catalogs. 

Berk 101 appears in the Winter 2003-2004 Contemporary Catalog.  Road number is not legible in drawing. 

Not shown (sold out?) Winter 04-05 catalog. 

Drawing shows grey smoke box, blue boiler, red roof, grey lower rear side panels, blue tender with gold lettering.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Joe Satnik
