Sorry for replying to my own message, but I just realized that I posted in
plain text instead of formatted text... another victim of the late-night
internet gremlins. Re-posting the pictures below:

The T1 is my favorite PRR passenger engine and is on my long list of equipment
to model. I cant believe you beat me to it.
Your Engine looks great. Getting such a big loco to work in 6 wide is a real
challenge. I think you did well in capturing the spirit of this engine. The nose
has the classic T1 look. The striping and the brick built keystone look great.
And the curving of the body work on top of the tender turned out awesome.
Very Nice
Now I need to start working on my own Duplex.

Frankly, neither can I. When you posted the pictures from the PennLUG Display
at The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, I thought for sure I’d see one that you
built on the tracks somewhere...
Digging deep into the Brickshelf archives, I did find someone’s startings of a
T-1 that looked very promising. I think it ended up more of a brick study on
the engine nose portion (I’m not sure who’s folder that is to give credit).

Thanks for the comments Cale. It took some time to sort it out and get the
proportions right. I think the one area that will always be open to
interpretation is how to arrive at the nose and cow-catcher shape. I debated
whether to use plates on the cow-catcher, studs out on the sides, or do some
snot brick work (like the user MOC above) and smooth it out. Since the piece
selection in LDD was limited, I opted for plates.
I think the next step for my T1 engine/tender is employing some of the fine
lettering/decal work that your PRR units show so well.
