Nice to see them steam like that, really nice. Thanks, that is always nice to look at and hear. Do you still let that last (super) Garret steam on your layout or is she more of a display unit, currently? Would love to she her steam again, on your layout. Looks good. Do note it was not just the garret patent that prevented some fun stuff reaching the USA, there is also the Corridor Tender as well. Also patented to all hell and then some. Now what would a streamline Garrett with a corridor tender, look like? Mallard Triplex, failed because the third wheel set was below the tender, no boiler weight pressing it down. I think a properly constructed Garrett Triplex, might actually work quite well. You wouldn't happen to have the lower sections of a 844 and a 4014? Yes a Bigger Boy, lol or would it be, Big Sis(ter)? A what if, if they had tried to make something more powerful then the Big Boy, to counter the modern opponent.
I still have the streamlined double Hudson Garratt. I agree it is fun to run and listen too. I’m currently working on another double Hudson Garratt that is a freight engine. Thanks for the comments.
@@billbivings4125 If you ever do go for another streamline Garrett, would something based on a Duplex Steam Engine, be something? Especially if the tender part is based on a Corridor Tender setup, with possibly a pulled corridor water tender behind it, before the streamline passengier wagons? It would give a nice nose & tail look, I bet. ua-cam.com/video/2RusRdlE-gg/v-deo.html&ab_channel=HighIron ua-cam.com/video/sIFx5oqRBvQ/v-deo.html&ab_channel=TrainofThought
Those are some awesome ideas, I imagine a Corridor Garrett would be tricky, unless you go the simple route and have gangways around the ends. P.S. Imagine what a Garrett Shay would look like!😮
Beautiful
Thank you
Every time I see a Garrett I think of Wilson from Home Improvement.😂
