This locomotive I had photographed, is a 7 and 1/2 inch guage working live steam model of a Pennsylvania Railroad K4 Pacific Type Passenger steam locomotive. Just like the Prototype Pennsylvania K4 Class Express passenger engines (Of wich two are preserved) this locomotive is very fast and quiete powerfull. When this little locomotive is working under load conditions, you could just hear and feel the power. Two actual K4 engines from the former Pennsylvania Railroad are preserved in the State of Pennsylvania. One at the Pennsylvania Railroad Museum in Strasburg Pennsylvania, and the other undergoing Mechanical overhaul in Scranton Pennsylvania at the Steamtown Museum. However that engine PRR # 1361 is owned by a Museum Group in Altoona Pennsylvania. This is a fine working miniature model.
