Just got back from being rebuilt. It sat on a self most of its life,got in a collection I bought a few months back. It is a PRR T-1 Duplex. Wont run on my 18 degree curves but wont be a problem when I rebuild and expand the layout next winter. Came in it's original box and had the paperwork too.

NICE! I hope when you rebuild your layout you use more then 22 inch radius! As it will run on 22 radii, BUT slow and doesn't take it well "at speed"
I've had a few of these and sold them for that very reason!

ooooo I likes it I want one!
The way PRR designed this loco as a 4-4-4-4 I'd think a 4-8-4 would of been better but thats just me
