I visited the Hesston Steam Museum in northwest Indiana, on a lovely and colorfull Autum day, in October of the year 1998.
Seen here between runs on the miniature 7 and 1/2" inch track guuage live steam railroad, is a working live steam model of a Pennsyvania Railroad K-4 class Pacific type passenger service locomotive. This locomotive, just like it's full sized prototypes were from the 1920's to the end of steam on the PRR in 1957, is fast and very powerfull. The PRR K-4 were finely crafted machines. Two of the prototypes are preserved.

My grandfather was an engineer on one like this. My father made a model exactly like this one. It is now mine. What is it worth? Please Email me at Kathiantiquedoll@aol.com
