Being a Pennsy fan I love the K4, but wanted to have a P&LE Pacific I haven't found anything close to any of the different classes the P&LE ran. While doing research I noticed so many variations as Mark mentioned. Even on the same roads. In my opinion , a manufacturer could make a good profit by selling a few base locomotives and sell detail kits as add ons to detail it for specific roads and classes. I have a couple of early IHC Pacifics I remotored and regeared and a Rivarossi Pacific. I also added electrical pickups on the tenders of the IHC locos and they do run great. The biggest problem I have (detail wise) is that they have the Baker valve gear. Not to many roads used Pacifics with the Baker valve gear other than the Erie. Once I find a suitable replacement valve gear the rest of the detail changes are minor.
