Here is a great animation of the PRR T1 4-4-4-4 #5550 running at speed. Animation done by Steve Hawirko This is the running gear that we have chosen at it is most advanced, reliable and easiest to maintain.
You know, if you guys commissioned someone to do "5550 content" as donationware addons for games like Trainz, MTS, etc. you could probably raise funds for the completion of the locomotive, while also raising additional awareness for the project. I'm sure someone would be willing to work with the T1 Trust to that end, given folks are already making incredible animations like this. It might be worth a shot if you find yourselves falling short on funds or volunteers.
That was so good that it could’ve fooled me into thinking that the thing already existed if I didn’t know better. One of the many reasons I am excited by this project is that other than the fact that they will be making a streamline steam locomotive (of which there are sadly very little left in the United States) it’s also a long term Precedent, if this project succeeds then I would not be surprised if we will see other organized trusts form over the next several years to re-create other historic locomotives such as the Milwaukee Rd., Hiawatha and the New York Central mercury. That being said I don’t think we will see a full blown Hudson re-created for many decades to come since I think that we’ve still got quite a long ways to go until we get to that point.
have been following youse from the UK; all power to your elbow as they say!! I know you will get there - Tornado is alive and well, took them years but so worth it.
I’m super ultra expo insanely abominationly impressed of what you informed us about the Franklin-B Poppet Valve Geer! I honestly can’t wait in 9 years in 2030 until it’s completed and running excursions! 😃👏👍🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃
1. Marvelous rendering this is one of my favorite historical locomotives 2. Can't wait til completion one of my favorite whistles is the Pennsylvania 3 chime. 3. Hopefully yell release some merchandise or miniatures of the Loco I'd like one for my desk
This was composed and modelled really well, keep up the good work! In the not-so-far future we'll get to see this in real life! And I just want to say great job on the boiler, you've made so much progress its insane
I full-screened the video before I read the description and the whole time I was struggling to figure out if it was an animation or not, for a bit I thought y'all had just hooked it up to another locomotive and tugged it along (because the last thing I'd seen of the 5550 was the incomplete firebox)
There is nothing to be worried about. These running gear ran tens of thousands of miles every month with little maintance. The info you have is just not accurate.
the "main problem" was none of the crews knowing how to operate the T1s. They were used to the K4's. Not the T1s. Another issue was the use of Poppet A instead of Poppet B which made them much better runners
This is Franklin B type, not the Franklin A type which was the problematic valve gear. Engine 5500 was the only T1 to have the B type after a wreck and proved to run with no issues at all. There was going to be a conversion program for the T1s to be refitted but dieselization killed it.
If you guys have the interior of the valve gear modelled yet, a video of that in operation would be fascinating. There's a lot of footage of more conventional valve gear in operation but this stuff is pretty novel.
Imagine how much money they would make just by selling this model or making a playable versión where you can travel all around Pennsylvania with the 5550
This animation is great! I do have a question. In frame 0:12 , there is some sort of, for lack of a better word, pump or cylinder that is attached to the 2nd drive wheel of each set, and it is suspended on the outside. What is that?
The good thing is the T1 trust has mentioned they have someone, who will sponsor the testing fee of having the new PRR T1 5550 run on the test track in Pueblo, Colorado.
Wow, that's an amazing model! Can't wait to see the parts in the flesh! Do you guys have a link to the music you guys used? It needs to go on my Yee-Haw playlist.
ever since i was a kid i loved the prr s1 t1 and i cant remember the other one if you know please tell me i think it was a 4-4-6-2 on the whyte scale but i was sad when the orignal was retired but i heared there building a new one is this true?
No. Cylinder horsepower is indicated using a formula like PLAN. The horsepower that 'matters' is drawbar horsepower or DBHP (although wheelrim horsepower is what was measured on the Altoona test plant).
Two Questions: First, will T1 have the skirting covering the front cylinders or not like in the video? Second, will the T1 have inside valve gear, outside valve gear, or the U-joint valve gear shown in the video?
@@Thelefevrefever Probably because this motion, Franklin B-2, it more accessible and reliable than the original Franklin A that the T1's were fitted with. 5500 actually had this gear after an accident, and was reported to be the best running of the T1's
You have to qualify that: 'performed much better below 85mph'. Unsurprisingly perhaps, the T1a was progressively valve-limited at higher speeds, in much the same ways the standard large-valve K4s was inferior to the Lima-modified test 4-6-2.
Interestingly Trains Magazine seems to purposefully ignore the T1 Project. They recently listed the major steam locomotive restorations and not a word about 5550. Anyone know why?
@@Leatherface123. True. However the fact that this project is being undertaken at all, let alone has come this far, you'd think Trains would be all about it! I guarantee you the late Editor David Morgan would have been a huge fan!
will the 5550 have different valve gear unlike the original t1's to meet modern standards? something about this valve gear looks different than the original t1 valve gear, but i cant pinpoint what it is, still keep up the great work!
May happen, but this T1 will be better than the older T1s. The B2 Rotary Cam Poppet Valves are the solution to part of the wheel slipping issue. Also, Pennsylvania Railroad steam locomotive engineers didn't have proper training operating these locomotives, since transitioned from the K4.
It is the right-angle gearbox for the rotary-cam poppet valve drive. Note that the eccentric crank is precisely centered, rather than leading or trailing as in radial gear: it gives precise rotational alignment past the rod circle.

Whoever works on the animation and 3D modeling of the T1 deserves a raise.
It's all volunteer lol
I think so!
I honestly cannot tell the difference between this animation and real life 😳
I know this isn’t real but the animation is so good, it’s so realistic! Btw you guys are amazing!
I thinks it trainz or something else
@@Trainman1991No Trainz can’t even dream of this graphics lmao. It’s blender if I were to gues
@@threepea1151 I guess your right maybe blender
@@Justin_Riddleno no no, you're wrong. the T1 they're building will probably be completed by the year 2030.

The 4-6-4 AT&SF 3463 may be restored one day, if issues can be overcome.
Agreed it’s so realistic.
This animation is so incredibly realistic and beautiful! If this is what the finished product is going to look like in real life the I cant wait!
Pretty excited to be a part of this project. Highball, 5550!

Heh good luck find some PRR coachs unless theres 1 or some still existing
1. Marvelous rendering this is one of my favorite historical locomotives
2. Can't wait til completion one of my favorite whistles is the Pennsylvania 3 chime.
3. Hopefully yell release some merchandise or miniatures of the Loco I'd like one for my desk

An absolute beast of a locomotive.
Man The T1 PRR 5550 Going Break World Speed😱
Even as an ATSF lover, I hope to see this thing once it's out on the rails 6 years later. It's just too beautiful to not be seen.
Pennsylvania railroad t1 5550 my favourite locomotive dream is come true love from India 🇮🇳❤🇺🇸
the train looks fantastic
This locomotive has my favorite whistle
I'm in full support of the steam team get that beast done I know you guys can make it
Ok that model is amazing!
Hehe the prr t1 is gonna come back and bring back the UNSPEAKABLE POWER
Holy shit, this animation is some underrated gold.
THATS AN ANIMATION? That’s the most realistic looking animation I’ve ever seen
Rather Interesting, I Never Notived thisich detail in any of the old films
I THOUGHT THE LOCO WAS DONE UNTIL I SAW THE DESCRIPTION! XD
Holy cow lovely job on this animation! It's so well done it looks real!
I like how you even animated that wheelslip at 0:31,my greatest support to all of you working in this project. Good Luck!
the animation makes it look like its actually real
Awesome job!!! Maybe there could be a Q2 trust next after the T1 is done.
This looks amazing, whoever animated this deserves serious recognition
This looks like you've already finished the locomotive. My brain just exploded.
Very impressive. Keep up the good work.
I like how theyre modernizing it just a bit as well.
Bro I swear the animators need to make a rail sim
Keep up the good work
I hope to see it run on mainline railroads one day!
At least, i thought it was in real life, but i like the camera movement too!

This is what I’m really worried about, this was one of the main problems with the T1 originally, so I’m hoping they will fix it in some way

@@TheT1Trust what about the wheel spin, you can even see that happening in this animation. Do you have any plans to correct this problem?
@@overpoweredsteamproduction513 again. That was mostly the crews not knowing how to operate the T1's because they were used to the K4's.
They restored the FREAKING T1 AAA 😄😄😄
Big Boy of the East coast
Looks good
Loving the music
Good job!

We should get a wooden train of this
❤❤❤❤❤ i soo love it so beautiful.

That animation is amazing. I thought it was real for a sec! My question is will she be fitted with PTC to make her legal on the class 1s?
Yes it will
Wooh you built it in 2022 i can see the T1 in action
The real 5550 isnt completed yet…
@@chooch1764 43% mind you.
This CGI model is so real you could put it in a movie and convince people that it's real.
Awesome model
T1class appear in future at 2030.
Long live 5550
for finale assembly id say do in at the Juniota locomotive works where it can be put together with care
That's gonna be FINISHED!!!
See ya in 2030 guys!
God that looks so real
Damn great job. The wheels speeding up suddenly (slippage?) looked a little weird but I had no idea this wasn’t real.
Hey “the t1 trust” how’s the prr t1 duplex 5550 going?
it took me 1 hour to realize that this was animated
cool
when ya'll get this locomotive done irl, smoke that damned A4
i saw the video and i thought it was real. its that accurate.
This animation is great!
I do have a question. In frame 0:12 , there is some sort of, for lack of a better word, pump or cylinder that is attached to the 2nd drive wheel of each set, and it is suspended on the outside. What is that?
It’s crazy to think that this locomotive will try to break the World Steam Speed Record once it’s completed. That’ll be something to watch
The good thing is the T1 trust has mentioned they have someone, who will sponsor the testing fee of having the new PRR T1 5550 run on the test track in Pueblo, Colorado.
Nice Job.
this is an animation? whoever made this is on x games bro, btw love your organization, i think what youre doing is cool lol.
Amazing! not a fan of poppet gears by any means but i don't mind since this big steaming beast will be running again!
When I first watched this I thought it was real
Awesome!
man i though it was real lol. looks so real
Wow, that's an amazing model! Can't wait to see the parts in the flesh!
Do you guys have a link to the music you guys used? It needs to go on my Yee-Haw playlist.
Look up "Freight Train." It's a Farming Simulator OST.
Even added wheel slip like the real ones had.
Trust you should make a song of the t1 to raise more money to build the train because I'm a Huge fan of the t1
I hope it wears prr brunswick Green
I thought this was a real engine, wait a minute 😂 I was like dang didn’t they just finish the boiler?
She'll run like clockwork when she's done.
This looks just like real life
Excellent animation, is there anywhere we can see the whole thing? I've seen bits and pieces of it all over the internet but not the whole thing
IN The Spring OF 1954 A T1 Sits Out OF Service With Other Engines AT Altoona Other Locomotives A Found Working The Line East OF Town
Pity that PRR didn't use type B from the beginning - would have saved a lot of pain and frustration!
That is too realistic
You actually modeled the infamous wheel-slip!
i refuse to believe this is animated
it even has the wheel slip in there
ever since i was a kid i loved the prr s1 t1 and i cant remember the other one if you know please tell me i think it was a 4-4-6-2 on the whyte scale but i was sad when the orignal was retired but i heared there building a new one is this true?
ok it is the q2 but is cylinder horsepower the same as normal hp?
No. Cylinder horsepower is indicated using a formula like PLAN. The horsepower that 'matters' is drawbar horsepower or DBHP (although wheelrim horsepower is what was measured on the Altoona test plant).
Two Questions: First, will T1 have the skirting covering the front cylinders or not like in the video? Second, will the T1 have inside valve gear, outside valve gear, or the U-joint valve gear shown in the video?
It will have the valve gear as you see it in video. It will be the "U-joint"
@@TheT1Trust Awesome! Good to know! Why did you choose this style of valve gear?

Only one, 5547, and performed much better than the other T1s and was reclassified as a T1a.
You have to qualify that: 'performed much better below 85mph'. Unsurprisingly perhaps, the T1a was progressively valve-limited at higher speeds, in much the same ways the standard large-valve K4s was inferior to the Lima-modified test 4-6-2.
@@wizlish alr
Will 5550 have the porthole pilot or the running board pilot? Personally, I like the running board pilot the best on the T1.
why not put 5550 in the 1942 scheme? more color, the big keystone on the tender, it would gain a lot more publicity
Good idea.
Wow
Interestingly Trains Magazine seems to purposefully ignore the T1 Project. They recently listed the major steam locomotive restorations and not a word about 5550. Anyone know why?
The T1 isn’t a restoration rather a construction and development
@@Leatherface123. True. However the fact that this project is being undertaken at all, let alone has come this far, you'd think Trains would be all about it! I guarantee you the late Editor David Morgan would have been a huge fan!
the train is fwd?

It will have the Granklin type B valve gear, which is the better version of the type A valve gear. So it will run smoothly.
I do love how they animated a wheel slip, we all know that's going to happen at some point for the T1.
May happen, but this T1 will be better than the older T1s. The B2 Rotary Cam Poppet Valves are the solution to part of the wheel slipping issue. Also, Pennsylvania Railroad steam locomotive engineers didn't have proper training operating these locomotives, since transitioned from the K4.
Please rebuild the S1
1st when i looked at it i diddent know if it is real or not and then im still guessing
I am curious, what is the purpose of the black piece that is connected to the driving rods that connects to a series of universal joints?
Most likely part of an automatic lubricating system.
It is the right-angle gearbox for the rotary-cam poppet valve drive. Note that the eccentric crank is precisely centered, rather than leading or trailing as in radial gear: it gives precise rotational alignment past the rod circle.
