I posted this shot elsewhere, but what the heck...
Penn Line (note the brass valve gear pieces). I know the K4/L1 tender is not "correct", but I like the look better than the huge "Coast To Coast" tank...which I do have, BTW...

Say, I recognize this one: Trix K4 in N scale. I still have a couple, and they both run surprisingly well...at least the last time I tried them...

Ok you got me! You are 100% correct, I just was seeing if anyone noticed.
That is one sweet engine, which runs real smooth and has great detail too.

Mike CT, Your beautiful layout environment compliments that beautiful Weaver scale engine really nicely, and the engine completes the portrait perfectly. - a handsome balance working together to make quite a statement.

Frank,
Thank you, Mike.
Here are just a couple of mine taken before packing them up for the move.
Here is my former Polar K4 with Lionel Legacy. I purchased it on clearance and then had forum sponsor Harry Hieke paint, detail, and weather the engine. Harry added a real coal load, wood step treads, and a custom raised front number board.

That really looks great. How was the close coupling between engine and tender achieved? I'm curious to know how that can be done.

That's just the way it was staged for the picture. The connection was never modified.
I love the look of your layout, Frank. The pennsy steam engines are the icing on the cake. 
A few of my PRR locomotives.
In N scale I have the B6, I1, and the K4. Great locomotives for their time. In HO, I have a Bowser K4 I built and superdetailed at 16, a heavily detailed MDC E6, two or three Penn Line E6s, a Bowsert T1, and the Gilbert HO B6 with smoke.
As for photos:
Two of a perfect pair. Weaver next to Sunset.

Lionel E6s (in PRSL)
MDC HO E6s super detailed and custom painted about 20 years ago by me. The tender is a Bowser tender and is nearly correct based on a late photo of 645 in an old Audio Visual Designs PRR Calendar.
Great Thread!
PRR K4s #1361
Here's a first-run (HO scale) Bachmann K4:
It has the usual warped #'s 1 & 3 drivers, but I managed to get it to where it runs very nicely: now to find a matching tender...anyone?

Nice collection of Pennsy Steam, John. Do you have any electric and diesel or do you collect only steam?

Pat, you're opening up the door, so to speak.
