Pennsylvania RR class K4 4-6-2 from Bachmann

Senior Editor Cody Grivno hosts this Product Review video featuring the Pennsylvania RR (PRR) class K4 Pacific steam locomotive from Bachmann Trains. The 4-6-2 paid a visit to our Milwaukee, Racine & Troy staff layout, where it led a short train of heavyweight passenger cars.

Details on the HO scale PRR K4 include blackened metal RP-25 contour wheels and side rods, a die-cast metal trailing truck, E-Z Mate Mark II couplers on the front of the locomotive and rear of the tender, and factory-installed and painted engineer and fireman figures. The model is equipped with a dual-mode TCS WOWSound decoder, a Keep-Alive capacitor, and voice-guided Audio Assist program.

The Pennsylvania RR class K4 4-6-2 from Bachmann, in stores now, is available in a prewar version with a slat pilot and postwar version with a modern pilot. Both versions are offered in two road numbers. The locomotive performs best on 22” radius curves or greater.
