Had lots of useful tips on this forum and from friends.
Here is a quick look on video.
Nice work. Weathering look very good. What is your process?
Uh, those cars it is pulling almost gave me a coronary!
Weeeeeellllll, those are some old NYC cars from Ebay years ago. I think they are Rivarossi. True I don’t have diaphrams on them yet (still in the drawer) and they may also need some weathering, but I am not sure I follow…
IMHO still to clean for K4s but,then maybe they been wash? [:-^]
Good job!
NYC was the arch enemy of the PRR. The only time their passenger cars ran on PRR tracks was when the West Point cadets were taken to Philadelphia for the Army Navy gamr
Ahhh…I see. Well my other passenger car choices are all even more of “a stretch”…Canadian Pacific, Western Pacific, and New Haven. Let’s imagine it is a game weekend. Thanks for the history. That is the kind of stuff I enjoy hearing.
Most of the K4’s were fairly dirty and weathered fairly heavy.
Nice scenes also. They look very good.

Thanks, CZ.
You know, I suppose the K4s may have been seen in dirtier condition than other locomotives perhaps because of their use. With those big drivers and regular use on high speed passenger trains, the K4s would be kicking up/sucking up an awful lot more debris and muck with their air turbulence than some locos lumbering around at 35 mph.
I am not a big K4 fan, even thou they were built 2 miles from my house. But nice weathering and video.
