The Lionel Corporation used the 2-6-4 wheel arrangement in many of its model steam locomotives, including the 2037 used in the infamous pastel-coloured Girls' Train. [9] Their 2-6-4 model was based on the Pennsylvania Railroad’s K4 class pacific, even though this was a 4-6-2 rather than a 2-6-4. [10]

The history of the U class is complex as it is linked to the fate of the 2-cylinder K ("River") class 2-6-4 tank locomotives.
