Glad you enjoyed! Sorry it took so long, I had to do a little rewriting on this video because of the way the videos overlap. Thanks again Nicholas! 🤠💯👍
Hmmm…that’s a really good one! It sounds very plausible, however I’m going to side with tall tale and possibly a concept locomotive but never built. 🚂🚂😎
Hey, hey! Quick heads-up if you didn't notice, but this video is not in the TToN playlist and episodes 8 and 9 are swapped in it. Keep up the good work!
My grandfather was on the team that built the locomotive at the Henry Ford museum at Greenfield Village in Dearborn Michigan. I'm having trouble finding info on the team. Do you have any info on the locomotive?
@@TrainBanditit is 1601 an Allegheny locomotive. I believe it ran the Chesapeake and Ohio line. The museum doesn't have information on the teams. His name was Francis Klavon. Thank you 🙏
@@oconnorsean12 ok, I'll do my best to find some info. So your grandfather helped build the Allegheny. Did he help restore it or did he build it from the ground up? If he built it you probably won't find anything at the museum because that would belong to the locomotive works that built the 1601
@TrainBandit okay so back in early 80s the idea of a 2nd generation steam locomotive to compete with the diesel, a new company called united locomotive cormpany This new company ULC's new research showed if steam could be less cost effected and more powerful it could bring back the glory of railroading for fast Freight service, So ulc researched limas A1 2-8-4 berkshires demonstrator locomotive so ulc came up with a 2-8-6 design with a big Firebox those locomotive specs was 63.5 inch drivers boiler pressure was 255 cylinders were 28×30.5 cylinders locomotive design was like a C&O K4 AND Limas no.1 demo itheadlight was lowered plus eleco feedwater stated the same it was classed A2 No.2 for second Gen steam locomotive it was so powerfu it could outrun a diesel centennial at that time.
PRR NEVER built a 2-10-10-2! The only articulateds they had were the HC-1 0-8-8-0's, used almost exclusively in transfer & pusher service, and some leased ex-Norfolk & Western Y-3 2-8-8-2's to help with motive power shortagers during WW II.. A couple of other railroads DID have 2-10-10-2's; Santa Fe tried some (wiht HINGED BOILERS'! 🤣) that were mechanical disasters & quickly rebulit into conventional 2-10-2's. VIrginian had some for low-speed coal drag service that (to my knowledge) were at least mechanically successful; unlike the Santa Fe ones, they were a conventional Mallet design (compound designs whcih re-used the steam from the rear cylinders in larger, low-pressure front cylinders) with a single boiler. The UP Big Boys like 4014 were so-called "simple articulateds"; although they have a Mallet-style frame where the rear engine is solidly fixed to the boiler, while the front engine swivels side-to side, they do NOT use steam twice, the steam is supplied to all 4 cylinders at the same time.
@@WA1LBK thanks for watching! 🤠👍 Ya the AT&SF 2-10-10-2 was a complete mechanical disaster with the articulating boiler 😂 I think they tried that boiler a couple of times 😂 You know it's funny you bring up Big Boy because I just got done watching a video on the big boy 😂 Anyway I appreciate the feedback! Thanks for watching! 🤠👍

@@XelanaterEllevanox I'll get that fixed, thanks for the heads up! I always appreciated! 🤠
Never have seen your videos before, good work and I was pleasantly surprised with a good bible verse for the intro, keep up the good work.

This sounds very intresting i think this might be true

@TrainBandit hi santa fe made 2-10-10-2's and Virginian had 2-10-10-2's
Hi i really love making stories like this if you want more give me a holler
