The Amazing Versitile K4
Posted by BroadwayLion on Wednesday, March 27, 2019 9:37 AM

To set the stage, LION keeps his mags in the throne room, right next to the engineers seat. Him holds the MR in the left paw of him, and terns the pages with the right paw of him. This means that about two inches of the binding is held closed.

 

Now imagine the surprise of the LION when, on page 12, him saw this 2-0-2 K4 looking him in the face. The tender was bigger than the locomotive by quite a bit.

LION did a double take to see if this was real or a Marx wind up toy.

As him opened the mag the loco got longer and longer until it was finally a full size 4-6-2 locomotive.

 

Imagine a locomotive that can shrink or expand to provide the horsepower for the train in tow. That is versitility.

No K4s in MY subways!
