I'd love to see the PRR K2. I have a Max Grey model of 1223 which I painted and lettered for 1080 which was one of the other of the last 3 that were in service at the end of steam. It was assigned on a local out of pittsburgh to Derry I believe. The MG model is pretty nice in my opinon. I have not checked if for scale accuracy. It looks good from 3 feet which is fine on the layout. It is probably plain jane compared to modern brass detailing. IT is a small loco and runs pretty fast. However, once I put in a DCC decoder I was able to make it a nice runner and reduce the top speed. It will pull 3-4 GGD coaches on level track and probably 2 up my 1 1/2 percent grade.
