Anyone own this engine that could take some close up pictures of the engine? The ones on the net do not show the details or lack of. I want to see how close it matches up to my next project! Thanks, Don

"Williams 3750"? Any more info? Is this an item number or a cab number? What RR was the "3750" modeling?
I know that you cannot/should not casually post informational photos - as in ads or by anyone else - any more, so that can no longer help with the clues, alas.

I don't know if Williams ever made a model of the famous Pennsylvania K4s steam locomotive, but the PRR did have a K4s #3750. I also think the real PRR #3750 is saved at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, in Strasburg, PA.

Model # 3750, road is Pennsylvania. I was bidding on it last night but the pictures were so bad I could not see the engine number or details. The overall construction of the fire box and boiler looks like an engine I am modeling so doing some home work so when the next one shows up! Thanks, Don

Correct. 3750 sits rotting outside along side the infamous 520 (Enola Boiler Explosion) and 6755. They are all scheduled for a cosmetic restoration. All are Pennsy or the “Standard Railroad of the World”.
The Williams 3750 is a brass model of a PRR class K4s Pacific (road number 3750) with the postwar "beauty treatment" which relocated the headlight to the boiler top (just in front of the stack) and moved the generator to a platform extending from the boiler front. It also has a cast pilot. The Williams catalog number is 5001. A Google search for "Williams 5001 K4s" will find several photos.
Williams catalog number 5000 was a K4s with prewar headlight and generator positions and a horizontal slat pilot, road number 5400 as pictured in the post above this one.
