My First Broadway Limited Locomotive! | Pennsylvania T1 4-4-4-4 Duplex

My first ever Broadway Limited locomotive, and it looks and sounds AWESOME!

[@commandingofficerkanawha7546]

That is gorgeous! The T1s were true works of art. Well except the last few that were plagued with the poppet valve gear that wheel slipped but they are just gorgeous

[@commandingofficerkanawha7546]

The smoke fluid should work no matter what. I use MTH smokefluid with my greenbrier

[@skylitejunction5589]

For someone who hates the Pennsy T1, I’m surprised you stopped by. Lol. But I’m glad you enjoyed the vid. I’ll defiantly put smoke fluid in it this time, and I may need a tiny funnel they would usually come with, but my model never came with one, since it’s a bit of an oldie? But I’ve now fallen in love with this model. Lol

[@commandingofficerkanawha7546]

Skylite Junction they’ve began to grow on me lol. A lot of my previous views when I started the hobby’s have changed drastically.

[@skylitejunction5589]

Commanding Officer Kanawha Yeah, this T1 is starting to hit me right at home. I’ve had too much bad luck with Rivarossi, and it almost makes me wanna forget Rivarossi and just stick with Bachmann, or Broadway Limited in general. Rivarossi? I kinda don’t wanna bother with very much anymore. I’ll still buy them, but I just don’t wanna get anymore bad luck from their models.

[@highspeedboom]

Good choice to buy, nice looking T1 you have there!, sounds good too. Thank you for sharing this,

[@skylitejunction5589]

Highspeedboom oh yeah. This is pretty much the best purchase I’ve ever made. Lol

[@gopernoperstrains3160]

Body is a die cast alloy of steel with separately applied details. The spare driving wheels are to be used if you want to swap the traction tires off with bare wheels.

[@skylitejunction5589]

gopernoper's trains That makes more sense. Lol.

[@paulmishler402]

I heard that bachmann smoke fluid messes up the smoke units in broadway limited loco's so i wouldnt put bachmann smoke fluid in that

[@skylitejunction5589]

Paul Mishler Oof! Glad you caught me on that. I did plan to put a drop in it to see if it works, now you mention it, I thank you for stopping me! 😂

[@skylitejunction5589]

Paul Mishler but I promise, a drop hasn’t went into the smoke stack

[@LukeLovesTrains-Mr.RailYard]

Really nice man. Looks like you need to get some Pennsylvania Railroad passenger cars for it.

[@skylitejunction5589]

LJL RailYard Already got some for her. :)

[@LukeLovesTrains-Mr.RailYard]

Ok

[@LukeLovesTrains-Mr.RailYard]

Are you planning to get a K4 Pacific?

[@skylitejunction5589]

LJL RailYard I will get one eventually. I’m not a massive sucker for Pacific’s. I like them, but the one I’m more fond with is the blue comet, but I will get a K4 one day.

since when did broadway limited make a brass t-1

Skylite Junction ok

[@hectorsproductions2018]

Very amazing! the PRR is my favorite railroad too, and my favorite locomotive is the S2 too!

[@skylitejunction5589]

Hector’s Productions Aw man, the S2 turbine is defiantly on my bucket list. I love to have one by BLI cause of the unusual non chugging sound when all you’ll hear is the turbines roaring. I’d love to have an S2 eventually.

[@warbabyproductions]

Congrats on the bli and may I say it’s a beautiful model and a cool sound model

[@skylitejunction5589]

Southern pacific 4460 Indeed it is an awesome sound model. She’s probably the most beautiful engine on my layout by far.

[@officialpennsyjoe]

The T1's by BLI are diecast-plastic hybrids.

[@skylitejunction5589]

Yeah, I didn’t know that until after I made this vid.

[@cameronstrainsadventures]

She is a beautiful engine and sounds fantastic 👍

[@powerfulprinzgaming8837]

Wow! I always liked this engine, it looks nice

[@skylitejunction5589]

It really does. Lol.

[@burleyscott2910]

I like the look of the wheels. Scares me on the tight curves. What curves are you using?

[@skylitejunction5589]

22” inch radius curves.

[@dieseldeanrailways7371]

That is dcc in dc. You should consider swapping to dcc

[@skylitejunction5589]

DieselDean Railways I will eventually. You can run DCC engines on DC, it’s defiantly possible, and it’s what I’m gonna stick with for now, but I promise once I get a DCC controller, I’ll defiantly run this on DCC.

[@rickyperez3551]

damn thats a dcc engine on a dc track

[@skylitejunction5589]

Ricky Perez Indeed it is, but I’m hoping to get a DCC controller at some point.

[@raphaelchoi9971]

hi ya, just wondering what should i look be aware of when getting a 2nd hand one?

[@skylitejunction5589]

I would try and look at the model as carefully as I can, and if it’s possible when you’re on eBay. Try to read the description and see if the seller is honest. If the description says little to nothing about the item, don’t get it.

[@raphaelchoi9971]

lucky enough i find the only one in my own country. but as a newbie i have no knowledge of train whatsoever but i just love the look of it. just cant believe it still costs alot after all these years.​@@skylitejunction5589

[@NSProductions-jt5sh]

Nice I've been d err ciding whether to get one or not but I would recommend a dcc system to get access to all the features

[@skylitejunction5589]

NS Productions 8104 Yeah, tbh, I don’t need a DCC controller that badly to get all the features. Believe it or not, I can literally activate the whistle and the bell using the directional switch. Don’t believe me? I looked at it in the instruction manual, and it turns out it’s all true. So I might put a video out on that eventually.

[@rickyperez3551]

under neath the cab of the engine theres an on and off switch very small thats toi turn on ur smoke genarator and if u leave the switch on ur engine wont move ever again and only use ur smoke generator if ur on a dcc track with NCE or digitrax cuz dcc trains will get fucked up running on dc system i have the 2019 t-1

[@skylitejunction5589]

Ricky Perez I never knew there was a switch to turn on the smoke unit. Now that you mention it, I won’t even touch it if I do find it. But then again, this model may not even have one.

Yeah I’ve never actually seen an engine with 4 numbers in its configuration. Probably because BR never built one!

BN’s Railway and Model Channel Yeah, there’s countless different wheel configurations. Idk how you’ve never heard of them. Especially the articulated steam engines. Lol

[@skylitejunction5589]

BN’s Railway and Model Channel Also not to mention the T1 duplex is the only locomotive I know of that has a 4-4-4-4 wheel arrangement. I don’t think any other engine does apart from this one. You will see a T1 in real life once the new one is built and fired up, since all the final examples were scrapped in the 1950’s.

[@alcopower5710]

Skylite Junction .....so you are not running DCC? I’m either confused or behind the times (or both lol)

[@skylitejunction5589]

Alco Power Nope, I’m running normal DC, and the engine is DCC. They’ll still run together, just as long as you don’t put a DC loco on a DCC layout. Lol. Makes sense?

[@alcopower5710]

Skylite Junction .......wasn’t aware that you could get sound out of it. Must be only on the high end stuff. Either way I’m so stoked for you as it’s super nice
