Oh snap, She has duely Walshaerts valve gear set ups. Love your reviews. The way you explain the little nuances and parts usage. Please please please review as many sets as possible. Even sets that aren’t train related please.
Actually! The prototype had Franklin poppet valves, which gave them a lot of trouble, at least in the early days. Sadly LEGO doesn't have the resolution - at least not without custom parts - to model anything fancier than a generic driving/connecting rod assembly.
I would like to see the motors in the locomotive instead of the tender, I imagine you could use bevel gears and axles going through the swivel joints of each truck, and universal joints to help with the articulation.
It's a mix: it's BBB wheels on the loco and official wheels on the tender (because you need the rubber bands for grip). The center axles in the tender are popped out wheelsets (see the linked video about the tender).
One of my fav american steam locomotives. Great to see it in LEGO and also in this little 'documentary' video of your build. Great job mate.

I would like it better with the motors in the locomotive too :)
Maybe next year...
You know thus train fits less for PRR and fit more with the Combine
Very cool! I saw at a show, someone built the prr q1 duplex out of Lego.
Either a Q1 or Q2 is on my to-do (eventually) list! It will probably have to be R104 only though.
and now just make one of those crazy theretical union pacific hex-a-plex that should be a good challenge
Great video!
That reminds me, I need to get back to my legos
Dewit!
The t1s did do wheel slip
Wait 'til I rebuild it with the motors in the engine!
awesome!
I LOVE PENNSYLVANIA T1 CAN YOU DO THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE
Are the small wheels lego wheels or from bbb?

If lego made this it would have been 2000 dollars
Nahhh, probably $200-300. I don't think there's a single set out that's more than $1000 even today. Unless it's not USD XD
@@NonsenseWars it would be 500 dollars the price of the emerald night
