Thanks for posting your comparison photo. While the single headlight style on the 765 is simple and looks OK, the additional Mars light on the 759 definitely gives her the unique look that the NKP gave their Berks. Given the two styles, I'll take the 759. I didn't know the position of the bell hanger was in a different locations between Berks either.

You're welcome, Jeff. I also like the Mars light configuration best. Another interesting detail is the yellow-painted bell on the 759, which was recently applied to the 757 at Strasburg.

Interesting note about the NKP 757 you mentioned. Now that I have seen your NKP comparison photo, I'm paying more attention to the NKP Berks. The bell hanger on the NKP 757 has changed since she was retired. NKP 757 RP photo 332953 from 1958 shows her with a different style bell hanger than recent RP photo 668883 that was taken on 8-29-18.
