To be honest the T1 fits perfectly for these type of steam engines....my biggest complaint none of these model train manufacturers can never get that prr 3 chime whistle correctly....all way off....rhey can get recording of it .prr k4 has it and be T1 trust could let western Maryland re use it again to let say ESU and sound trax record it to get the correct prr3 sound into there sound file system

A photo op of this and big boy together would be incredible. I also can’t wait to see this engine running at full speed to see if it actually is the fastest steam engine, no disrespect to our neighbors across the Atlantic with the A4 class locomotives.

Making a steam engine in this day and age should take a long time. But make sure to keep things safe, and aim to dethrone mallard as the fastest
@vernongoodey509616 күн бұрын
It won’t happen 126mph is the limit as the A4 was 126tons with 3 18.5 x 26 inch cylinders. The T1 is 428.5 tons with 4 19.7 x 26 inch cylinders? The weight of 428 tons would need far larger and far heavier cylinders and pistons. Problem with all steam locomotives more power more weight. Bit like Jaguar cars had a 6 cylinder engine of 4.2 litres they doubled it to a V12 but it wasn’t a 8.4 litre only a 5.3 but with double the weight not double the power!

Haven't hear about T1 in quite a while. Can't believe how people are getting behind this project. The report was unbelievably good. The speaker inspires confidence. When I look at those massive steel plates, I just shake my head in disbelief. I'm 80, and I hope I live long enough to see the completion. I have just enough money to scrape by, but I wish I could send a check. Thu. Dec. 12, 2024, Missouri.

Casting these huge parts like the frame as a single piece is cool and all, yes. However I like that you take some liberties and go for modern construction methods while keeping dimensions historical. I bit this new frame will be stronger than the cast ones.

I disagree that the welded frame will be stronger then a cast one however a welded frame will have far better repair-ability in the future if the frame ever cracks. A trade off I really don't mind since people capable of repairing cast iron cracks are becoming harder to find...unfortunately.

I saw another video where they mentioned the S1 cardozzi valve gear tented to break at high speeds exceeding 120mph. if they make it from sheet metal it may hold up better than cast.
