Re: MTH Proto 3.0 Pennsy K-4 Has anyone got one?

ShackOGR Forum Member

I am contemplating buying one since there is not a lot of MTH LIRR O scale LIRR steam out there, I thought about running a K-4 with my GGD LIRR coaches. Does anyone have the most recent release from the 2011 catalog? Think they were released in 2013. MTH offered five versions. One red, one pre-war, one streamlined, a modern version, and I think one more modern version. I am mostly interested in the modern version. I have not actually seen one up close in any detail. Just curious if someone could give me their thoughts if they have the modern version. Thanks for the help! Pictures would be appreciated!

I wish they had also done a Pre War version that did not have the gold painted drivers. If they had I would have gone for one of those as well. I did however also get the streamlined version.

This is a Premier as well; overall I'm very happy with it. The tender sports the "Futura" font...

I have two Premier K-4s. One is the pre-war and one is the modern version. I love them both. They look great double heading my string of heavyweights and head end cars. Don't have any pictures handy.

Greg The PRR dropped the funeral font several years before they started to apply the postwar modernization "betterments".
