MTH 20-3296-1 PRR 4-6-2 K4s Steam Locomotive w/PS2 #837

Description

This is an MTH 20-3296-1 Pennsylvania 4-6-2 K-4s Steam Locomotive with Proto-Sound 2.0 (Hi-Rail Wheels) Cab 837. On perhaps the greatest railroad ever, no steam locomotive was more revered than the legendary Pennsylvania K-4s Pacific. Evolving from a program begun in 1914 to develop heavy freight and passenger classes utilizing common boiler designs, the K-4s was an instant success. From 1917 to 1928, a total of 425 units were built at the Juanita and Baldwin Shops. The 4-6-2 K-4s became the Pennsylvania’s principal passenger hauler, possessing a consummate blend of speed and power. Often double headed on east coast limiteds in front of a Pullman consist, the K-4s was a common and beautiful sight on the Pennsylvania’s rails, and became synonymous with that railroad’s steam power. Later, after World War II concluded, the Pennsy’s needs changed and the K-4’s appearance underwent a series of changes to better serve those needs. The most apparent changes showed up on the 1947 Postwar or Modern version of the K-4 and included a solid drop-coupler pilot, repositioned boiler front headlight and the addition of a steam generator below the headlight.
