Proto 2K 2-8-8-2

Odd, every single one of my P2K diesels is an excellent runner. The little Alco switchers in particular. All of my Geeps are of the vintage that eventually get cracked gears but it's a 2 minute fix and I spent a couple of bucks on gears at Athearn so I have plenty on hand. The one I fixed is back to running great. All of them I've actually owned twice (long story) and other than the cracked gear (the first time, Life Like was still independent and not owned by Walther$ so I was able to get repalcements for free. Other models I had around that were P2K, like an SD-7 and SW9, also were among the most trouble-free locos that hit the rails on my layout. I have no P2K steam since they make nothing of interest to me, so I have no idea there.
