3rd Rail Pennsy Q1 4-6-4-4 Locomotive

[nicholaskheinrich]

@CookiesAndGuns95, the rear cylinders were reversed because if they were not, the firebox would have to fit between the drivers, resulting in a smaller firebox, less grate are, and thus less power. There is a link to a website for the engine facility that service almost all of pennsy experimentals, but it wont let me post it in the comments. Sorry. Try looking up "crestline prr engine facility"

It's really a shame that once the PRR finally perfected their duplex locomotives they had to get rid of them for diesels.

any idea if they will do the q1 in ho i know they did the q2 but i need a s1 and s2 and a q1 for my layout so any ideas

[CookiesAndGuns95]

I never understood why the 2nd drivers were reversed. If someone knew, please tell me. Thanks.

@CookiesAndGuns95 all i know is that the rear-driving-cyclinders were a poor choice.  Because the Cyclinders would wear out due to the hot,dusty firebox.

@CookiesAndGuns95 shortened the wheel base on the drivers

[nicholasbreeden]
