	Horseshoe Curve National Historic Landmark - NE Rails
		PRR M1/M1a 4-8-2's were rare on the Curve (in freight service).
		But they went into freight service pretty quickly and were utilized mainly in fast freight service on the more level areas of the PRR due to their horsepower and speed.
		The diesel's ability to be "lashed-up" into as much power as needed controlled by 1 engine crew and its ability to add dynamic braking on the downhill side sealed steam's fate on the Curve and everywhere else for all time.

	STEAM LOCOMOTIVES
		The latter were never duplicated (PRR passenger locomotive needs were met until after WWII by electric locomotives operating on the Harrisburg-Washington-New York electrified lines).
		The first big tenders on the PRR carried 21,000 gallons of water, and were bought with the M1a engines in 1930.
		Later 25,000 gallon tenders were built for use on K4s Pacific type passenger locomotives, but it was soon realized that carrying all that water around at 60-80 miles per hour was not such a good idea.

		Упомянутая выше модель паровоза K4s - новая разработка компании, первый ее опыт в масштабе HO.
		Но еще до заказа мне стало очень интересно, а почему они (MTH) начали свой выход в новый масштаб именно с K4s.
		Всего было выпущено 425 штук K4s, и все они, за исключением одного, разбившегося в 1937 году, прослужили до первой половины 50-х, когда PRR полностью перешла на дизельную тягу.

	PRR K4s - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The K4s design increased grate area from previous classes' 55 to 70 ft² (5.1 to 6.5 m²).
		The PRR experimented extensively with its K4s fleet, trying out streamlining, different valve gear, smoke deflectors, driving wheel patterns and others.
		At first, the locomotive was not painted in standard PRR green (DGLE) but instead in a bronze color.

		The equipment was moved by the Penn-Central railroad to Leaman Place Junction where the Strasburg Railroad and the mighty Baldwin # 90 hauled the collection of PRR equipment and placed it on display tracks on their property until the museum was completed.
		For a short time PRR E7s back dated (to look like E6 # 7002) and D16s #1223 operated on the Strasburg Railroad until their second retirement in the early 1990's occurred.
		Today there are only 2 operable PRR steamers the famous K4s PRR 1361 (462 pacific) and PRR #643 060 switcher.1361 is undergoing rebuilding presently at Steamtown NHS in Scranton PA.

		John does distinctly remembers when PRR K4s came to York, PA in August of 1988.
		He kicks himself now when thinking about it, but the day his father had a chance to fire on a trip, he could have been in the cab, but was deathly scared of a big, loud, noisy engine.
		John hopes to introduce prototypically correct buildings of the PRR and other roads, that have yet to be produced otherwise.

		A 500+ word essay by the PRR Motive Power Department regarding the unique technical qualities of this reliable high-speed passenger locomotive provides most of the text for this pamphlet.
		"In all, 425 K4s locomotives were built which is the largest number of steam passenger engines of one class to be built by any railroad in this country." Albrecht provides short captions for most photographs, technical specification for K4s and K4sa and their tenders, and a roster of class K4s locomotives as of January 1939.
		In addition he provides very brief information about the Horseshoe Curve and locomotive No. 1361 which was built in Altoona in 1918 and was given to the city of Altoona in 1957 as a permanent monument after rolling up 2,469,000 miles of passenger service.

		It was renumbered by the PRR for the 1949 World's Fair because the real 7002 had already been scrapped.
		The K4s was probably the most popular and best known of all PRR steam locomotives.
		The key to success of the K4s was its uncanny ability to keep pace with more modern steam power employed by competing railroads.

		The same year, the Pennsylvania Railroad purchased its first Pacific known as class K28 from the American Locomotive Company and formulated their own 4-6-2 design after testing.
		Another experimental locomotive Pacific (class K29) was purchased in 1911 for further analysis and the K4s design was primarily the result of the extensive tests of the experimental K29.
		By May 1928 a total of 426 class K4s locomotives were on the roster.

		However, I was once told, and not sure how true it is, that all the porthole windows used on the PRR (B60 Baggage, N5c, etc) were all the same size and it happened to coincide with the diameter of the glass used in the electric headlights.
		The PRR began an extensive installation of cab signals but petitioned the ICC to allow it to install just cab signals without the train control feature, in return for the extensive installation of cabs.

		From an engineering standpoint, the most modern, and most powerful in horsepower, was the PRR Q2 4-4-6-4 duplex.
