Does anyone know the details on this K-Line locomotive? I looked on the Legacy K-Line site and couldn't find it. The tender is marked K3501-02-01. It is conventional and has locomotive sounds. It looks like a few of the steam engines on the site. However; the numbers are different.

The body is made from the re-worked old Marx 333 mold. It is equipped with a can motor, traction tires and a decent gear ratio, so it runs well, pulls a lot of cars. It has no flywheel, so it stops on a scale size dime.
The cap on the stack tells me that it has the later smoke unit, which was even more anemic than the original Seuthe unit.
The tender is around the same size as the ones used by the K-Line semi-scale Pacifics and I think it was a new mold for K-Line. In my opinion, both that tender and the 1829-style tender that K-Line originally issued with these locos are too big for the loco, but that's just my opinion.
Here's an earlier issue with the tender Marx designed for the 1829
3501 tender was tooled in 1999 with Real Sounds.

Thanks, gentlemen! That's excellent information.
Anyone know the value of this diesel? It's a pain to run it on my all-DCS system. I'm thinking about listing it for sale.
