I recently purchased a Railking 4-6-2 K-4s Setam loco.
The crew talk is for a passenger train, but what if I'm hauling freight with it? Is there any kind of "board/chip workaround?"

Some of us die-hard Pennsy fans will tell you that a K-4 is only supposed to pull passenger trains!

Absolutely CORRECT! The PRR K4s was NOT a very good freight hauler, what with those big 79" diameter drive wheels, designed for 100 MPH passenger train speeds.
I should have thought b4 I lept, especially since I was a conducter on the PC for 13 years!
Which passenger cars would this engine have pulled?

PRR P70 coaches, or the "Fleet of Modernism" streamlined cars, or the "Broadway Limited" streamlined cars.
To answer your original question, find the catalog number of a PS-1 PRR freight steam locomotive and order that chip from MTH. Then you can swap the chip and have freight sounds.
