	: Many years ago, the late [[Charles A. Purinton\|Carl Purinton]] of Boxford, MA told me about "Lindy Knight" from the state of Maine who built a beautiful 4-8-8-4 in 3 1/2 gauge. Carl said the locomotive was a beautiful piece of work and had "spring rigging" like the prototype "Big Boys". However, Carl also said that you could NOT lift the engine or "the pieces would fall out".		: Many years ago, the late [[Charles A.

: The late Linwood "Lindy" Knight lived in Saco, Maine for many years and was a real craftsman when it came to building scale models of Live Steam locomotives. We'll start this look back with an early peek at a young Lindy and his famous locomotive and then go from there.

:If I remember correctly, Lindy ran a lawn mower repair business from which he had pretty much retired from when he built the Berkshire.
