Marklin Pennsylvania 2-6-4

I've been looking for some of Marklins Pennsylvania steam locomotives for a while but seems every time I find one it's on a weird website you don't know if you can trust or one thats like $200. Most of them I found were 2-8-2s but I was wondering did Marklin ever make 2-6-4s in Pennsylvania? And were they more than the other 2-8-2s because I don't really want to spend more than $120 since Marklin locomotives aren't that great.

Edit

I've been looking some more I don't really think I'm going to find one for even $150 not even used

I collect the old steamers and I know Marklin made a 4-6-2 (Pacific type) in Pennsylvania (Marklin item #8882). I've seen them go for $100.00 to $150.00 on eBay. And they may have even made the 2-8-2 (Mikado type) in Pennsy, but I haven't seen one. But I KNOW I've not seen Marklin produce any 2-6-4 (Adriatic type) locomotives (at least not in Z scale... maybe in HO though?).

PS the old Marklin steamers, both Mikado and Pacific are great little runners, and if needed the motors are really pretty easy to change out (to a 5 pole even).

Hope this helps,
Joe

I am breaking up my collection. I have marklin 8882 and a black B&O 282 w/tender.

I'll be making a K4 (the Pennsy 4-6-2) in a "short" time. As soon as I can get the USRA mikado going, I'll have a 4-6-2 and a 4-8-4 in USRA in short order. I'll be making the Pennsy shell mods immediately after that (basically, I need to change the firebox) so a K4 and an M4 will also be available. As soon as I have some capital, this will get going.

--EDIT-- for those who don't know what I'm up to, this is NOT a modification for Marklin chassis, but a whole new mechanism. Hopefully, it will not only pull more prototypically, but also turn better than the Marklin locos.

I'm excited to hear about this project. Don't forget to send us progress photos. Good luck, Jim

I can vouch for the performance of this 8882. I was there when Art put it on the track for the fist time in ??? years just last Sunday. It stumbled a bit at first, but warmed right up and ran well during our test.
