Lionel O 2431420 BTO M1, Pennsylvania Railroad (c. 1941) #6845

Many consider the M1 to be the high-point of the Pennsylvania's steam locomotive designs. Conceived as larger passenger power to reduce the need for double and triple heading K4's, the M's quickly found their way into freight service. A small percentage of the roster was equipped for passenger duties, but they are best remembered hauling priority freight at speed along the banks of the Juniata and Susquehanna Rivers. Three years after building the first prototype, the Pennsy ordered 200 class M1 4-8-2s from Baldwin and Lima. Another 100 units, classed M1a, followed in 1930 from the same builders and from Juniata itself. The primary spotting difference between the two subclasses can be seen in the steam delivery pipes which are external on the M1's and hidden inside the cylinder saddles on the M1a's. Both classes were generally operated similarly and as a whole received the same variety of detail changes over their careers, including new front end pilot and headlight arrangements and of course a variety of tenders.
