      @@TrainMaster04 there is some interesting facts The Denver and Rio Grande Western's Triplex Locomotive was a proposed Triplex steam locomotive by the Baldwin Locomotive Works for the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad. The Denver and Rio Grande Western's Triplex Locomotive was proposed by the Baldwin Locomotive Works after they had built the very first three triplex locomotives for the Erie Railroad in 1914 and they were planning to build this locomotive for the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad. The reasons to why Denver and Rio Grande Western's Triplex Locomotive wasn't built was because of the issues with the Erie Railroad's P-1s and the Virginian Railway's XA when they couldn't go as fast as their top speed was about 10-15 mph, with the Virginian Railway's XA reaching 3-5 mph or even as high as 10 mph.

    They said it’s their “best yet” but where the hell is the flange on the center driving wheel??!! This really bothers me. If you are going to make an accurate and prototypical model, then DO IT. The real locomotive had flanges on all six driving wheels. The OG 700e ALSO had flanges on all six. If it was a larger wheel arrangement, then sure. Okay. But just about anyone buying this has a layout large enough to run a 4-6-4 with fully flanged drivers. It’s not a triplex. It’s a Hudson. Sorry. Rant over…But this just kind of rubs me the wrong way. I hate it when they can’t fully commit to the accuracy they pride themselves so much on.

    • @TrainMaster04
      @TrainMaster04 Місяць тому

      I completely understand where you’re coming from. It is a shame especially since it’s fairly noticeable. However, there has to be some form of compromise. The OG 700e was offered with and without a center flange. This resulted in a minimum curve radius of O72 to O54 respectively. That would have been the case today if there was a center flange.

    It appears that the Whistle Steam is blowing out of the Main Stack.

    • @TrainMaster04
      @TrainMaster04 Місяць тому

      Yes, unfortunately. Since the stack and whistle smoke units use the same fluid basin the smoke passages are not isolated. As a result, the smoke takes the path of least resistance which is the stack. Most Lionel locomotives that have whistle steam near the stack usual have this problem.

    Considering this is supposed to represent the GSMRR, do you think you can make a custom GSMRR 1. It's the green 4-2-4 "locomotive" (it's actually an unpowered car) that's been sitting outside on static display, and it used to be a replica of The Little Engine That Could.
