The S-1 6-4-4-6 was test of the duplex drive concept. Pennsy built 50 T-1 4-4-4-4 engines for passengers, and 50 Q-2 4-6-4-4 types for freight. The T-1's were built with the wrong kind of internal poppet valve gear that made them difficult and expensive to maintain. The Q-2, while a high performer, used enormous amounts of water, was also a maintenance problem. The much simpler I-1 2-10-0 types outlived the duplex drives, and lasted to the end of Pennsy steam around 1958 or so.

sadly, the S1 was scrapped, so it doesn't exist anymore. it's a shame though cause it looks like a great engine.
-
very nice!
-
@kingelvis24 Yes, my mistake. The Q-1 was also steamlined. Too bad no duplex drives survived.
-
turn that country music off please ahhhhhhhhhh
-
Are you going to use the S1 in your series? that would be awsome!
-
the reason it failed was because it was too big and the wheels were known to get out of synch
-
Awesome video and a nice steam engine

Where is the PRR S1 6-4-4-6 avaible in the simulators? I can't find it any where.

1968 and also the 4-6-4-4 was a Q-1, the Q-2 was a 4-4-6-4!



I Knew PRR had the 4-4-4-4, I never knew they made a 6-4-4-6, wonder why the extra pilot and guide wheels? Also, what was the roadname on the pullmans, I couldn't tell?

The General or "S1 was more of a test locomotive, trying to get the biggest and fastest engine possible. Or something like that. It was deemed a failure.
The cars are lettered "Nickel Plate Road"

No, the PRR S1 6100 will not become a future character in "San Juan Trainz"
