Looks great, Ted. I’m glad you followed through in completing it in real
life. Along with you creating the Dreyfuss Hudson, this is another engine
that I’d like to build that you beat me to :)

Thanks Tony... However, I don’t think my LDD Dreyfuss Hudson really counts (I
have to say that LDD attempt was lacking in a lot of areas since improving my
train building skills). To be frank, I abandoned building the Dreyfuss in
real-life and started building the T1 because your Dreyfuss was done to near
perfection. Really well done.
...and while we’re at it, you beat me in the most important thing... getting a
BBQ Smoker. I am very jealous! (I check your flickr page from time to time,
mainly to see if you put a skirt on your Dreyfuss tender that I can learn from
:)).

I don’t have anything constructive to add that Ben already hasn’t, he’s
pretty much summed up everything for me. I plan to build this sucker 8-
wide, though, so I can’t steal your great boiler nose design. I also plan
to build it with all four pairs of drivers fixed to the body (as it was in
real life) so your wheel design doesn’t help me there, either. Pity, I do
so enjoy taking the easy route.
Great job!

Since Ben’s post, I have already corrected the engine height. The coupler
catching the ladder was the cause of the issues...
... and I was actually thinking of re-doing the drivers so that I could get some
proper piston action. Working pistons were my original intention, but had to do
some mods to the piston housing to get the drivers to work. If extend the
boiler to proper scale to the cabin, and rearrange my flanged drivers
appropriately, I might be able to pull that off... I do think that 7 or 8 wide
will really help to put a skirt on the streamlined tenders (but I still plan to
try to solve that 6-wide). It would also orient the piston housings correctly
under the engine shrouds.
Thanks again for the comments, and sharing all the great info.
