Pennsylvania T1 4-4-4-4 duplex steam locomotive

Pennsylvania T1 4-4-4-4 duplex - possibly the ultimate in steam locomotive design?

Designed to haul 1,000 ton passenger trains long distances at 100 miles per hour.

Awesome appearance , awesome power, though I've been told not well loved by locomotive engineers because of their skittish behaviour. Apparently uncontrollable wheel spin at 100 miles per hour was a terrifying experience.

Phil, what scale (HO) and what company built it. The model is incorrect. The portholes on the front end of the T-1 were only used on the first few of the 6000 series(6110 etc) which were the first few T-1s and not on the 5000 series as this one is. The tender lacks the train phone equipment. That said, it runs well and warmed my heart. BTW, I cannot tell if this a model or virtual loco. Mike

Seriously, Mike, I'm sure you've seen worse. Where to get it;

But you gotta come over to The Dark Side to run it, not gonna work in MSTS.

Will this addon work with the Steam version of Trainz?
