To install, run the RW_AssetSetup.exe file. Copy the CabView, Crew, Lights, Particles, Simulation, and Trucks folders from: Assets\RWA\Lakeside\RailVehicles\Steam\Berkshire\PereMarquette and paste them into: Assets\RWA\Lakeside\RailVehicles\Steam\Berkshire\BLE.
The model is saved in Assets\RWA\Lakeside\RailVehicles\Steam\Berkshire\BLE. It is named “BnLE 2-8-4 Berkshire.” Sorry for the lack of dynamic numbering. The included numbering was not accurate for B&LE practices.
The B&LE purchased 10 Class M-1 Berkshire locomotives. They were numbered from 1001-1010 and were used mainly for heavy manifest freights. I like a little more variety of power for my scenarios and the Berkshire looks like something B&LE might have operated.
This package is released as freeware. You can do whatever you wish with it EXCEPT make money with its use.
