Very pretty Chris, Here's a C&O H8 2-6-6-6 Allegheny by contrast... Though I've read the 1601 is in better shape... The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

A legend in your own minds. A Big Boy loco is a mere 4-8-8-4 that was made by Alco, a 2-6-6-6 H8 was made by Lima Locomotive Works. The H8 is the most powerful steam locomotive ever built, at 7500hp... A Big Boy 4-8-8-4 Locomotive. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Here's a famous US Loco, the Santa Fe Blue Goose, a 4-6-4 Hudson type... This outside of some models is all that is left now of this steam locomotive. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Winning on a Thursday evening. Not much online time these past two days. Looking forward to a relatively quiet Easter weekend. Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired |

Re: Mallard... officially, it holds the record. Most experts believe it likely that that speed was often exceeded, but never observed. Re: style and class. A matter of opinion. I'm afraid most American railfans regard anything not designed and built on this continent as ugly. I try to be a bit more open-minded, but I find most British steam to be odd at best. But then, I don't like most American efforts at streamlining steam engines either, especially retrofits of existing ones. The Santa Fe engine posted here and the New York Central streamlined Hudson are good examples of things I find hideous. Engines where the streamlining was designed in aren't so bad, examples being the aforementioned Southern Pacific GS-4 class and Norfolk & Western Class J. Changing subjects rather than double-post: either it's possible for high blood glucose to trigger a histamine response, or I have a bit of a cold. A bit of ache, a bit of fever, a lot of runny nose. Still a somewhat winning day, though. David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

either it's possible for high blood glucose to trigger a histamine response, or I have a bit of a cold. A bit of ache, a bit of fever, a lot of runny nose. Still a somewhat winning day, though. Sounds like my seasonal allergies. I take loratadine (generic Claritin) once daily year-round, and twice a day during Spring and Fall allergy season. Check with your Doctor.....
