I can highly recommend this book if you do not already have it.

The Van Sweringen Berkshires: Eugene L. Huddleston: 9780934088152: Amazon.com: Books

I will be looking forward to seeing what you do. These are very handsome engines.

Try a model engineer supply for plans or copies of the originals

Hello OhioMike. I have a Model Railroad Cyclopedia, in which are drawings of an Erie Class S 2-8-4 and an L&N Class M1, both listed as "Berkshires". I'm not too au fait with U.S. built loco's so don't know if these are what you mean. Also, I'm not sure what you mean when you say "simple 3 views" aren't suitable. These drawings show right side elevations and cross-sections, a part-plan view in one case, and also list all principal dimensions - why would these be insufficient to design a model? Is it full engineering drawings you need? If these might be of use though I can scan them in and PM the pics to you - let me know :-)
