MTH 80-3101-1 HO Scale 4-6-2 K4 Steam Loco PRR 1737 DCC Sound PS3
NOS (New Old Stock)
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. M.T.H. Electric Trains is proud to return the Prewar 1927 version and an all-new 1947 Postwar rendition of this magnificent steam locomotive to life in all die-cast construction. Featuring all of the craftsmanship and detail that make an M.T.H. steam locomotive the industry's best value, your K-4s will quickly find a home on your layout or in your collection for years to come. Did You Know? No. 1737 was the first K-4 produced for the Pennsylvania Railroad. No. 1361, formerly displayed at Horseshoe Curve currently resides in Scranton, Pennsylvania and is being rebuilt at Steamtown.
