Description
xHallmark Keepsake's 2023 Lionel Pennsylvania K4 Tender is a die-cast metal Christmas ornament that recreates the fuel tender for the classic K4 steam locomotive with working wheels and authentic Pennsylvania Railroad markings.
This ornament is the companion piece to Lionel's 1361 Pennsylvania K4 Steam Locomotive, crafted for collectors and train lovers who want a small-scale, durable keepsake to hang on a tree or keep in a display box.

How faithful is the ornament to the real Pennsylvania K4 tender?
