Those T-1's are BEAST'S!!!!

[@sydspoak6754]

The Pennsy T1 is the most badass steam locomotive ever, IMHO. Wish they'd come out a little sooner, and stuck around a little longer, so I could see one run in real life.

With a bit of luck and a LOT of money, you may get your chance! T-1 Trust.

[@brianfalzon6739]

They are currently planning to build a new T1 5550 by the PRR T1 Trust.

It sure is a Q2.

[@RenaissancePeopleNYC]

are there any videos pf the PRR turbine steam engine?

[@trainknut]

There is, but it's very brief and not the best quality. It's on one of the green frog ones I think, I can't remember which specifically.

[@RenaissancePeopleNYC]

@@trainknut I saw a VERY brief shot of it in one video its shame that's all t here is! Same for the Blue Comet - NOTHING!

What is a Pennsylvania railroad 4k?

[@howiesmith1504]

No such thing as a PRR "4k." You must mean a Pennsylvania Railroad K4, a large 4-6-2 type for fast, heavy passenger service. They were one of the all-time classic steam locomotives. The first one was built in 1914, the road acquired 424 more from 1917 to 1927, and except for one that was wrecked beyond repair in the 1930s, the entire class remained on the roster until dieselization. Theyllkkjuhb ,v c.f. dress t pretty much set the basic pattern industry-wide for fast, heavy passenger power in North America until 4-8-4s and 4-6-4s appeared c. 1926-1927. Check 'em out on Google, Wikipedia, KZbin, etc.

The [4K] refers to the video quality.
