    I wanted to know why don’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for the main line Train so they extend the new abandoned underground stations.
    Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock that includes the class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign them an overhead line and also make them into six cars per units and also having three Accessible Toilets on that six cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Volvo TD102KF, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXC, Gardner 6LXB and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 8-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into an 11 car per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers?
    A Stock Train and also having 8 DisaAccessiblelets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it bigger and extend it to bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those 4 European countries such as Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Train tunnel into a High-Speed train?
    The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Train line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. then put the modernised 11 car per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those 4 European countries such as Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 cars per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 37 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project that is OK for London Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. Oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden Easily.
    Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly line and also build a brand-new underground train station so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street and also make another brand new tunnel train station in Chingford and could they extend the DLR?
    All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo TD102KF, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Six carriages three accessible toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains.
    Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to create more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and they can order Every 17 Octagon and Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique minor no.13 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 117MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 117MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 16 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those fascinating Journeys Please!!!!!! oh, can you make all of those Coal Boxes’ 16 Tonnes for all of the 117MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us, passengers!! so please make sure that the Builders can do as they are Told!! And please do something about these very important Professional ideas Please Prime Minister of England, Prime Minister of Sweden, Prime Minister of Germany, Prime Minister of Italy, Prime Minister of Poland and that Includes the Mayor of London.

      @@nscentralparailfan9741 in terms of shortlines and regional railroads, the PRR T1 Trust has confirmed on their website in the FAQs page that three railroads so far will support and have 5550 on their rails:
      Steam Railroading Institute/Great Lakes Central Railroad in Owosso, Michigan,
      Steamtown National Historic Site/Lackawanna and Wyoming Valley Railroad, plus others, in Scranton, Pennsylvania,
      And finally, the Cuyahoga Valley Railroad in Independance, Ohio.
      T1 Trust has stated that they won't go on any class 1s unless they want to do a steam/Heritage program, that way they can cover the costs of insurance, passenger cars, and ect. If they wanted to operate on Horseshoe curve, they would have to be in a program with Norfolk Southern, or do a special Amtrak Charter.

      @@SouRwy4501Productions most likely not, TVRMs rails benefits lighter locomotives such as 4501, plus the tunnels may be too small for the 5550 to fit in. Remember, this locomotive weighs just under 1 million pounds, is about 16 ft tall, and is longer than a Union Pacific Challenger, with no articulation. Also gotta remember the TVRMs rails are on old Southern BRANCHLINES. Anywhere else besides branchlines, 5550 could run on.

    I hope this locomotive isn't being restored and brought back into service. Duplex locomotives are known to be problematic in service, and because of their large sizes, their route availability is extremely limited, and they are more prone to derailments if not maintained properly.

      @@cablecar3683 I don't know of any steam locomotives that could do that. LNER Mallard holds the record with 136mph, and not to mention Britain has much more experience with high-speed railroad than America. It wasn't until recently that Amtrak created the Avelia Liberty to bring America into high-speed rail.
      Note: I am aware of the Acela Express also being designed and created by Amtrak, but that train's Top Speed barely surpassed Mallard's at a top speed of 140mph.

    I like the idea but one thing I don't like, apparently it is said to try and break the Steam Speed Record, which was beaten by the Mallard by going 124 Mile Per Hour, It's just stupid. First, because that might cause the locomotive to break if it goes too fast. Second, why would you do it, it's just dumb and is just disgrace to the #4464 LNER Mallard A4. Third, if it does break, why would you make a locomotive in the first place? You're just gonna harm people by breaking the locomotive, and possibly harming anyone in the train if it derails or maybe explodes.
