Looking for an attractive, detailed, pre-war, G Scale PRR K4 for static display. Engine doesn't need to be working.

A friend, Don Sweger (see Facebook page) scratch built a 1/8 scale fully functional PRR K4 model of engine #612. It is just beautiful and runs great, amazing torque from steam. The engine is very special to me because my Dad was a fireman on the PRR Panhandle Division during WWII and engine #612 appears Dad's Log Books (April 26,1945, Columbus to Pittsburgh). I took the log book to show Don when he lived in eastern PA. Don graciously allowed me to run the engine on his ~20 acre layout. What fun! It was a great insight into why Dad loved his PRR time so much. I'm looking to purchase a G-scale PRR K4 to create a static display to honor Dad and remind our family of his adventures on the rail road. Engine needs to be in great visual shape but doesn't need to be functional. No luck in the search so far. Can anyone help?

Hi Ben,
Congratulations on getting your K4 going. I really enjoyed the video. I'm brand new member. I was drawn to the group hoping I could get help in location a G scale pre-war PRR K4. I'm looking for an engine to display. It does not have to be in running condition. The display will honor my Dad who fired K4s (M1s, I1s, J1s, L1s H10s, and #6110, the prototype T1) for PRR on the Panhandle Division between Columbus and Pittsburgh. I'm looking for a highly detailed engine, either steam or electric, and will happily pay a reasonable price. Can you or any of your Forum friends help me?
Thanks very much!
