Anyone have one of these? It’s a conventional prr k4 with rs. Wondering if it’s one with the too long firebox. Also does it have whistle steam?

The basic info on this loco is available on Lionel's website -
But - there is one for sale on eBay right now. Based on the (apparently catalogue) photo on the auction, this loco does appear to have the over-extended firebox, and is too "lanky" in general for a PRR K4, which was a somewhat chunky-looking loco.
(You could add a more-proportionate 4-wheel trailing truck and have the only PRR Hudson...but that might cause the entire 3RO world to implode. Just kidding. It's a shame that Lionel decided to resurrect that old long-as-a-Mountain tooling, especially as they had/have the better K-Line tooling available - I think.)
I found this old thread indicating it might be old kline tooling for this one like it’s legacy equipped siblings but no pucs of the real deal other than a catalog stock pic.
