Broadway Limited #4434 Streamlined PRR K4s #3768 1936 Version Later DGLE Paint w/Sound&DCC

A number of K4s locomotives had streamlining applied over the years. All were later removed restoring the locomotives to their original appearance. In February 1936 locomotive #3768 was clad in a shroud designed by famed industrial designer Raymond Loewy. This highly concealing enveloping streamlined casing hid most of the functionality of the steam locomotive leading to its nickname of ��The Torpedo�� by train crews. At first the locomotive was not painted in standard Dark Green Locomotive Enamel (DGLE) but instead in a bronze color. It was later refinished in DGLE. A matching tender ran on unusual six-wheel trucks. Like most streamlined steam locomotives the shrouds impeded maintenance and the covers over the wheels were later removed. For a time the locomotive was the preferred engine for the Broadway Limited train. We��re proud to offer this iconic steam locomotive to our serious PRR modelers. FEATURES ?
