Chuck called me to let me know that the K4 box arrived at Feather River Trains today.  I am heading up there and will report back.

Someone make sure @Chulvis makes the Sign of the Keystone both before opening the package and as he ships each one. Don't want to mess with the mojo or we'll never hear the end of it from the SPF's.

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.

According to the tracking info, my K4 is due to arrive today. It'll be a very light Christmas for me this year, but absolutely worth it since it means a K4 in my roster.

Just got mine.  :)  I am impressed so far.  Now I need to get a train together for it to pull.  Doesn't look right in front of C&O lightweights.

I'm having some pickup issues with mine. It goes through bouts where most stock brass has better pickup; like distance travelled before dropping power is measured in wheel rotations and on one hand. After an hour and a half or so of breakin, it seemed to be better, only to have the gremlins reappear as I was closing down for the evening. I really don't relish the idea of disassembly and cleaning, but given what the contact on the tender drawbar looks like, it seems a logical step.
