James M. Boone of the P, Ft W & C described the boiler for which he gave the specifications as "a good steamer; will make steam freely with nut coal; does the best work with about 4" of coal on the grate."
These small Eight-wheelers eventually found their way onto the Pennsylvania's roster, but not for long. 12 left by 1906 and 1 was retired by 1913.
One of three engines assessed at the end of the 19th century. The other two were the 1510, a Baldwin compound (Locobase 2835) , and 1320, a Webb compound. The New Yorker was a straightforward, orthodox simple-expansion locomotive that offered a good- sized boiler as well as a look at building techniques from a manufacturer other than Altoona or the PRR's natural bedmate, Baldwin.
This one was retired in 1911.
One of three engines assessed at the end of the 19th century. This was a Vauclain compound. The other two were the 1504, a Schenectady-built simple-expansion (Locobase 2834), and 1320, a Webb compound. This engine was later converted to a 2-cylinder simple-expansion and retired in 1911.
One of the classes established by Alexander J. Cassatt in 1867 when he became Master of Machinery. His goal was to standardize to allow greater interchangeability of parts. Duty was light passenger service.
Data from diagram scanned in by Robert Schoenberg of http://prr.railfan.net . Another D7 drawing shows a total heating surface of 1464 sq ft, but the number, length, and diameter of the boiler tubes is identical. Unless the firebox grew in height enough to add 160 sq ft to the heating surface, I don't see where the number comes from.

Modernized from 1914 on with the 20.5-in diameter pistons and boilers limited to 175 psi, but superheated. According to Edson (Keystone Steam & Electric, 1974), the conversion created an "...excellent engine for suburban service and local trains." Used on many Pennsy branch lines; some later sent over to the Long Island RR.
http://www.mth-railking.com/search.asp?item=20-3156-1&page=cat (visited 11 Nov 2004), the MTH models site, confirms Locobase's analysis with the comment that the K represented "an elegant and successful step in the evolution of Pennsy motive power". Ks also featured a 2-bar alligator crosshead, powered reversing gear, and sandboxes on the running board rather than sand in a top-mounted dome.
Later converted to D16 with 68" drivers.
Similar to O, but with slightly larger cylinders and higher boiler pressure and Belpaire boiler. Duty was general passenger service on heavier rail than before.
