Steam & Excursion > NKP Berkshire 756Date: 06/21/17 14:53 NKP Berkshire 756 Author: superchief1944 I own a large original Ted Rose water-color painting of NKP Berkshire 756 at full-stride. The painting is titled "Hot Shot". Does anyone have access to photos of the 756 in service? I'd like to have a couple of action photos to keep with the painting for reference.
Also, if anyone has the "birth and death dates" of the 756 - or any other relevant information - I'd like to have it. Thanks a lot all.....

Thanks!

That book has what I believe to be a reproduction of your Ted Rose painting of 756 on pages 118-119. A great painting.
