Models look good.
If PRR steam ever becomes a serious interest this is a book worth acquiring a copy of.
According to it PRR acquired a few from lines it absorbed and tried one new build of some conventional looking round firebox 4-6-2 but all were built 1911 to 1913, which was pre-USRA; and everything else had Belpaire fireboxes.
To the best of my knowledge PRR did paint a few steam locos in tuscan but they were some of the streamlined ones.
