This is a trip around my layout behind a MTH Railking PRR 4-6-2 K-4 Torpedo. There has been requests for some steam so this video and the next on will be steam engines. This is one of those engines that I am not particularly fond of. Being a 4-6-2, it struggles with any more than about 8 PW cars. It is prone to wheel slip at the start but once it's moving it does OK. The sound set is generic to the point of being boring. On the other hand I just replaced the wick in the smoke unit and it will smoke you out of the room. It is not apparent in the video but it makes perfect smoke rings. As always comments are appreciated.

  • I HAVE TWO PREWAR 1668 K4 TURPEDO TRAIN SETS I HERD THE MODERN REMAKES ENGINES WERE SHROTER IN SIZE BUT THE TENDER WAS MUCH BIGGER THEN THE PREWAR COFFEN BOX TENDERS IS IT TRUE?

  • @grizzleybearz282004 This is a semiscale railking engine so it is subject to selective compression in scale to allow it to get around smaller diameter curves. Unfortunately I have never seen a prewar Torpedo in person so I can't give you a good idea of how they compare.

  • @JJosephS1 When he says PW cars, he means postwar cars. And, it's a riding video, it's not supposed to have footage on all sides of the engine.

  • I didn't give you five stars because I would have liked some footage of the torpedo from all sides. When you say PW cars, I assume your speaking of some sort of passenger car? Your layout is really taking shape, lots of great operating accessories.

  • I have the Lionel TMCC K-4... May have to buy this one now!

  • Nice engine! Love the sounds!
