Not only legal but would be placed in the P class of locomotives.  PRR always needed proper P1-P4 locomotives to get the P5 electric.  I think it is a cool build.

Not to turn this into a PRR thread... but....

It is interesting that for the 2-8-2 electric PRR went with L5, and the 4-6-4 they went with the P5

It seems like they were saving _1 through _4 on each class for iterations of steam classes. After the K4, maybe they figured they only needed 4 tries to arrive at their perfect engine for each wheel arrangement.
