And that is what made Allen such a kick arse pilot ;) held his own against Superior fighters and still got the big boy in the end hehe

Hall Scott made the most powerful truck engines of the time, this one was original gas, and reason why Diesels won out in the end, sure it had more power, but worse MPG too, and during the war time crunch was not a good thing. look up the Pankcake Scott Hall Engine on youtube, or the inline six DOHC.

no you should never ever do that

Ya, i tried doing that in a few vids, but ITC came in and flagged it and had my video removed , not sure how some get away with it, but seems when i make one of these vids and use diff sound tracks, they do not care as much lol

She is currently being restored and was moved to Ohio, not too long after i made this video, should be burning coal soon.

Hyena Morgan Good to hear. Hope to see a video of her rolling someday.

+CentralOhioTrains Yup, she is on a 10 year lease, and long as funding holds up they will be able to keep her, i got to meet That steam guy, and got some pics of the big move:)

Is this still around? If so do you know if it's for sale

Tinsby Lmao...I guess you do not see the other cars attached? It is not alone, has the oil burner " use to be Tender" and a tanker behind it. ;)

Tinsby ..Sorry i did not use the right terminology " for calling a Locomotive attached to a tender and a aux car a TRAIN" Odd you would give me a thumbs down for such a minor thing thou . I just hope to see her burning coal again. If you make vid on the 2100, i promise not to thumbs down you're video. But hey, i'm nice like that ;)

Thanks!! Some one don't like it i guess, who could thumbs down such a purdy train? ;) BTW it should return hopefully to the rails...This train is the Famous Reading T1 super power. It had a lot of work done too it the wrong way, but it is far from scrap and did pull cars around up till the big screw up.

It’s about ready to run agin. Google 2100.

This was not a local Locomotive " East coast" When i made this video i knew very little about this Reading Locomotive " I'm more a Northern Pacific/BN/UP/GN. kinda guy..My gramps use to work for NP...I know quite a bit about this Super Power T-1 locomotive now, been in contact with some of the original Reading T1 Engineers. The oil conversion was a total screw up .oil unit was way to small, hardly get enough steam to pull herself, she was rarely seen without a diesel helper after this conversion..Oil convert is not a bad idea, but from what i was told they was warned the wooten firebox was too big for a small single burner, so she ended up sucking some cold air "along with hot"i was told and screwing up the firebox and only able to get enough steam to pull herself...The paint job is all wrong, even the front light "that is broke" is the wrong one.

I have heard what you said before. Unfortunately most of it is true. 2100 needs a full rebuild.

barronzm I agree. Rust on the rods and cross-heads is the first clue. The inside of the cab shows that the engine (not train) has been incompetently maintained. I just hope that the people in Cleveland know what they are doing! After this engine was restored at Hagerstown, MD in the late 1980s she was in excellent condition, both esthetically and mechanically.

There is alot of controversy around this train..Good and bad...Some say she was not converted right..Some argu nothing wrong with her...A lot not happy with the change of colors..She was originally a Reading Railroad train. They had big plans for this train in washington state that fell threw " maybe lack of money or bad converstion" Only good thing she is being stored on the dry side of washington state...It will be a long time before she is too far gone to fix again...Sorry for my late responce..youtube never told me i had a message ;)..lol

Ok thanks for the info, no problem.
