Overview
On perhaps the greatest railroad ever, no steam locomotive was more revered than the legendary Pennsylvania K-4s Pacific. The first of the K-class engines were known by their engineers as "Fat Annie" for the way they dwarfed the contemporary Atlantics. The culmination of this class of locomotive, the K-4s was an instant success. The original 1914 design was such a masterstroke of engineering that only minor design alterations were made during the forty years that the K-4s ruled the rails. From 1917 to 1928, the PRR built a total of 425 units in the Juniata and Baldwin Shops. The 4-6-2 K-4s became the Pennsylvania's principal passenger hauler, possessing a consummate blend of speed and power. Over flat land it clocked a top speed of a breathtaking 92 miles per hour during a test run, and it had the power to muscle its load over the mountains of western Pennsylvania. Often double headed on East Coast Limiteds heading a Pullman consist, the K-4s was a common and beautiful sight on the Pennsylvania's rails and deservedly became synonymous with that railroad's steam power. The M.T.H. RailKing 4-6-2 K-4s Pacific Steam Engine accurately depicts Pennsy's powerful engine, with its realistic detail, standard features and state-of-the-art sound system listed.
