Pennsylvania Railroad K4 #1361 is very well know for having been restored to running condition and pulling excursions in the 1980s, but how long did her excursion career really last? Where did she go? Why was she pulled out of service? What does the future hold for this legend among preserved mainline steam locomotives? I attempt to answer these questions while at the same time representing 1361's retirement and revival in HO scale.

Detailed information about 1361's excursion career is surprisingly hard to find. The timeline of events presented in this video is accurate to the best I have been able to determine based on what few articles there are, photos, videos, and discussions with people in the Pennsylvania steam world. That being said, errors are possible.

The locomotive featured in this video is a Bachmann Spectrum PRR K4 with factory DCC and sound. These models used a very basic Soundtraxx decoder and sound package.
