They worked better because the PRR was declining rapidly and a complex, modern, and experimental steam locomotive was not what they needed. They also didn’t train engineers on how to use to them properly. The K4s by comparison were simple but underpowered locomotives.

As a small boy, I remember seeing 'Turbomotive' in service in its original form - and, of course, I remember the Harrow and Wealdstone disaster. Subsequently, I saw 71000 'Duke of Gloucester' in regular service. It (or should that be 'she', despite being a Duke?) had a reputation for poor steaming. However, when it was restored, they discovered the reasons, a combination of design and manufacturing faults and rectified them. I was on a steam excursion a couple of years ago, with 71000 double heading with 60163 'Tornado', a new build replica of an LNER A1 Pacific. But then, if you're a real 'gricer', you'll know all about 'Tornado' - and you'll probably know that it topped 100miles/hr on a test run in February of this year.

If you are from the PRR T1 Trust, you can still build the new T1 #5550 and get it to the (LNER A4 #4468) Mallard’s record of 126 miles per hour. It takes time, but we support the idea of the new T1. Make it happen, especially with the New York Central J Class 4-6-4 Hudson #5300 and New York Central 4-8-4 Niagara #6600 if you get the chance after you have built the new T1. Don’t give up and do your best to keep your projects going no matter what. Keep this new T1 going and build the rails up.

We lost so many steam engines during the transition from steam to diesel locomotives. Taking inspiration from you, I may eventually do my own list of extinct classes of locomotives, but instead of 15 or 20, I might do 30 locomotives and split it up into three parts with 10 locomotives in each part. Of course, I'm gonna need Windows Movie Maker to make this project of mine work.

I don't understand why you hate the T1 trust. They're rebuilding a very unique and impressive locomotive from the rails up, which is an extremely difficult feat. And yet, you act like they're just a bunch of egotistical dummies from the US who are hungry for a pointless record? Yes, the record IS pointless! Which is why A: That isn't their primary goal, contrary to what you might have to say and B: You.. shouldn't care? It's literally pointless if it breaks a record. So what? The A4 will still be the winner in so many other regards, and no pride will be lost just because a larger and more capable locomotive was finally give it's chance in the limelight. The T1 have already been speculated to have traveled much faster, what's all the fuss about? Can't we just agree that the A4 is better overall, even if the T1 proves the long-standing myth about it's top speed?

If I can see steam getting to 200mph without fancy modern systems and just the old simple ways I'll be very satisfied! It is very unlikely but that is what I want to see before I go.

By the way, they look very nice except the original version the Hush Hush model is a bit lighter than rebuilt version which has a heavy chassis from front to back while the original version's front is light and back is heavy. The reason why the front of the Hush Hush's front is light is because the running board is made out of plastic and it is not ruler straight.

The development of steam locomotives and that of mechanical engineering paralleled each other for a century. But into the first half of the last century, while steam usage for electric power generation and for marine vessels continued to develop, the railways dropped the ball. That didn't have to be, as André Chapelon, Livio Dante Porta and those following in their work demonstrated so effectively. David Wardale, the Advanced Steam Traction Group as well as persons and organizations in other countries have been elucidating about steam's potential and exposing the virtual worldwide propaganda campaign that was used to discredit steam traction in the middle of the 20th century. Itself a classical example of the rule: 'Follow the Money'. And speaking of finances, had funding permitted the 5AT project to continue, the 'record' would have been broken in the UK, assuming cooperation by Network Rail. And cheered by steam devotees the world over. David Wardale, who understands as much as anyone on the planet about the capabilities of steam traction, both pro and con, has along with others, strived to correct the narrow minded, parochial stereotype that views steam traction as a near Mesozoic era artifact of industrial history. The 'record' should be seen as a part of history, and not as a sacrosanct fable for junior cultists who obviously show more interest in 'my team vs your team' tribal behvior than they do for actual steam powered systems. And hard as it may seem, you have to grow up some time, Jimmy. Seriously.

Always a good laugh where you get the ´blithering idiot’ character supposedly trying [ or wanting to make it appear so! ] to « assist « his boss in his delivery but succeeding in only making it worse! [ Like the scene in the 1945 Olivier version film Henry V where the cleric is going through a sheaf of large and complicated docs on Salic law and his idiotic « assistant » shoves any old and inevitably wrong doc in front of him…! ]. Never wears out, that scenario and shades of Benny Hill and Mr Bean....My sincere apologies for those who think this comment out of context...( and you may be right ) but I am referring to the delivery of this excellent document which is to inform, enlighten, interest, entertain and hold the attention of the viewer and my contention is that you need a good sense of humour of which the item under reference is a good example. A real and right pleasure to watch and listen to and my very best wishes go with you for your future research and endevours . On a more serious note, and perhaps sad one to all rail fans: I sometimes get a creeping item in my brain cells when watching like historic rail reviews that perhaps someone might/should/ought to introduce a new reference ratio stat indicator along with other stats concerning say historic locos that is a reference to their working life eg loco XYZ boiler pressure ´x’, ´tractive effort ‘y’ and working life ´z’ years and estimated route miles run over life, if only to bring it home to us how wasteful some of these investments were. For example, an example of a good investment might be loco or class XYZ was/were built at a total cost of ABC and covered an estimated EFG mileage over HIL years hauling trains of KLN tonnage. But perhaps am talking a load of cod’s wallop rubbish for which I bow with humble (not Uriah’s type I beg you to believe and grant me, heavens non! That’d be the very last straw!

I agree with you on the T1s, not only what you said, but the prototypes where BETTER LOOKING than the production series T1s, as the shark nose was longer, skirting covering piping and lubricaters to make the engine look neater, and there was better coloring and striping, which also made the handrails stand out. and, i hope the 5550 will be based on the prototype, and DEFINITELY NOT the Late T1s, which had stubby, square Sharknoses, and The Freight-locomotive style front, which made the late T1s fat, ugly freight engines than sleek streamliners.

My problem with the T1 Trust trying to break the record is that they seem to have forgotten that Mallard nearly tore herself apart doing it. Don't build a new train, just to break her boiler in a pointless stunt.

Don't worry the number plate is still around and It can be seen at the Doncaster Gallery alongside a model number 10,000 and as for the J70 steam trams The first with drawls began in 1942 which was the same year the A4. Sir Ralph Wedgewood was destroyed
