Lionel Legacy PRR K4 Doubleheader

- A pair of slightly modified Legacy K4s pull a mail express train with a few straggler coaches tacked on the end. I added Kadees to both tenders, with 3667 having one on the pilot to couple up 3672. I also added an auxiliary power tether to help these engines crawl over switches without interruption.
I love how the cylinder exhaust sound matches the smoke exhaust from the stack!
Love the "syncopated" stack talk! In fact I love everything about this...
Tremendous work here. The Pennsylvania lives once again !!
Absolutely amazing!! Attention to detail is beyond anything I’ve ever seen
I love how the exhaust beats and smoke effect are perfectly timed with the wheel rotations. Lionel's sure come a long way since the tinplate trains they offered when the prototypes of these beasties were in action.
What an excellent job! I'm an HO scale modeler and didn't think that you could make the toy like look of Lionel three rail look so life like. Very very nice! Congratulations on being a great modeler.
In my honest opinion, they are either using Atlas O gauge 3-rail OR they went above and beyond with scenery and made the Lionel 3-rail look lifelike!
Great video Norm! Thanks for taking the time to make the video. The K4s look great!

AMAZING REALISM! I feel like I’m looking at real trains
The exhaust sound sounds so strong and mighty
Recently found your videos. Amazing work. So realistic.
This is freakin incredible! Ya did a spectacular job hiding the third rail. The scenery is beyond excellent. The equipment speaks for itself....
NOW these are some Lionel trains!!!
👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
~~~~from an HO guy!!!!
The layout is accurate in back ole days looks realstic i must say this is awesome
God, i love the sound of these engines
This layout and each of these models bring the age of great steam alive so clearly! Having the camera at ground level would only improve the illusion of the real deal in operation. Each locomotive is weathered perfectly as are the cars. This is real artistry.
Doubleheaded K4s Nothing better on this earth.!!
I would actually prefer to watch this over the old films from back in the day. Awesome stuff!
The best, there is.
Besides the awesome detail, accurate speeds for the scale and all, the lighting is perfect! Gives that outdoor look!
Truly, brilliant work!
Fantastic ! What else can you say.
What really brings this layout to life, with all the meticulous detail, is the truly spectacular videography. There is as much creativity and professionalism in the video itself as there is in the execution of the layout. This level of video production skill could be used as establishing footage for professional dramatic media.
I noticed one dislike on here, what is there not to like!!?!? This is absolutely incredible work here. The locomotive electronic upgrades as well as prototypical upgrades are excellent and the layout! WOW!!! I wish I had this level of an artistic eye. Norm, you are an inspiration!!! Love your work.

The building of a quality model rail road is far more than just its engines and rolling stock. This model has a high degree of realism. and detail, so often over looked.
Great job, who cares if it is 3 rail. ;-)
Amazing! Very close to a movie of the real thing! Beautiful detailing!
Best 3 rail layout I've ever seen.
Amazing detail...just a glorious layout! Congrats!
That's a beautiful layout!!!!
First off: train, layout, scenery, everything looks amazing and so realistic. Great job. My question- in the lash-up, I notice the chuffs are in-sync, then slowly go out-of-sync. If I am to assume the locos are the same, with the same size drive wheels, can I also assume there is some wheel slip going on- if ever so slight?
Steven Bullock thx man. The beauty of running a doubleheader is hearing the exhaust go out out synch. Lionel Legacy engines are nice in the fact that they use the correct exhaust rate.
One of the rare moments you actually run smoke
That is by far the most realistic layouts I've seen!!! Awesome work!!!!!
that shot inside the building tho.. amazing
Outstanding Doubleheader. 🐢🚂🐢🚂🐢🚂
Absolutely superb!!
Another great video of excellent modeling. You don't have to be into 3rail or PRR to appreciate what a fine layout this.
This is an amazing layout! I wish I could experience it in person.
Very impressive slow speed Norm. Everything blends so perfectly on your layout, very well done.
Excellent model scale speeds & model train actions & sounds. Like

Amazing video. Your layout looks so real. We love seeing videos of your layout, keep them coming. Thanks for sharing.
Wow i love that Sound 🤩🤩
beautiful layout, looks so real!
Love the details, sounds, and smoke!
Your layout is unbelievable.
Jim Sutter thanks man! Are you the Homer City Jim Sutter?
Yes Norm.
Those K4’s look run and sound great. Keep up the good work!
I if I did not know better, would have though this was live footage. Great work!
Awesome video it is such a pleasure to watch your layout
You have one of the best layouts I've ever seen! I love that you run the trains pretty fast in certain cases while most people show them off in medium to low speed which is nice but gets boring pretty quick imo. Please keep up with the great work and videos!
Norm awesome engine lash up. pulling a mixed train. Nick
Looks amazing Norm!! I add a small 22 guage wire tether between all my locomotives, it really makes a difference!
Jackson Railfan I have been using Deans Micro 2B plugs for these aux power tethers. Need to do this for my 1225 too.
Would you be able to explain how to install the tethers? Beautiful modeling!
WOW Very realalistic.
Would be a great holiday gift if you produced a short video on your track weathering technique. Thanks
Awesome. Just like being there.
That sound gives me goosebumps ...must be the most realisttic Lionellayout i have ever seen on youtube. Thanks ! The grass a little to short though ;)
So very lifelike!
Awesome 👏
Kadzooks! I'd love to know how many years it took to build this layout!
Well done is an understatement.
Thanks man, layout construction started in autumn 2014. Lots of changes since....
Most impressive ❗👍
Even though legacy engine are not designed for speed I still think the speed makes it more realistic
I hope they get 1361 running by 2025
Great as always.
this is a model? at some parts its hard to tell if its a model or its real. Nice job!
Very good!
Impressive...👍
I couldn't believe this was model until, there was no graffiti.
Here Viewers we see the Pennsylvania’s famous K4s double heading a long freight consist headed along the water level route these K4s are the pride and joy of the Pennsy and have been the staple of advertising heading famous express trains and racing the Pennsylvania’s rival New York Central
The prr k-4 was a passenger locomotive
Juan Ratliff my dear viewer of you check the script right there it speaks of Express trains in laymen terms A FAST PASSENGER TRAIN!
I think I need one 🤤 I’ll ask Santa 😂
holy macaroni that is good
to be honest, I thought I was gonna see Pere Marquette in here
Nice!
Looks great! How did your mount the Kadees?
Thanks! These would have been made out of stacked styrene at the time. If they ever go back to the workbench I will 3D them.
How did you Kadee your K4s? I’ve been interested in doing the same to mine.
I thought this was a real Locomotive 🚂🚟🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚋🚋🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃
Awesome job on everything. Where are you located? I'm from western Pennsylvania.
I'm from New Castle. My ex is from youngsville
Just bought one of these. Too bad the tender lettering is so off center, but it doesn't look horrible
Keith M ha, I’ve never noticed until you posted this - been trying to find some lettering diagrams for this tender (90P70?). The Legacy 1361 seems to have the lettering centered.
@@normstrains Yeah, I wouldn't have noticed it in person, but pictures make it fairly obvious. When I recieved it, I was pleasantly surprised to find it didn't look as bad as it did in the pics. I was planning on re-lettering it, but I think it's fine the way it is. I couldn't find any real K4s with lettering like that, it makes me wonder how Lionel messed that up. I checked the builder's plate on the tender, it says it's a class 130 P-75
Keith M these are a few feet too short to be 130P75s.
@@normstrains I really don't know much about Pennsy tenders, so I can't even suggest another class. Lionel got it wrong, then. That's what the plate says
👏👏👏👏👏👏
What decade is this layout set in
Mid 40s to late 50s

Awesome!!!
