I haven’t decided what my next loco will be (aside from it being steam, of
course). Currently I’m torn between a 6 or 7 wide version of the Blue
Mountain & Reading #425 pacific class (4-6-2), which would be a very similar
build to my TSRR #500 but making use of the new blue BBB wheels, or a dark
bley, 8-wide version of the PRR T-1 duplex locomotives (4-4-4-4).

Tough choice. #425 is a nice Loco and dark blue steam would rock.

I’d love to do it in dark blue, but I would have to sacrifice a lot of curves
and detail given the lack of currently available dark blue parts. More than
likely I’d be building it in regular blue. (plus BBB wheels come in regular
blue)

The Pennsy T-1
Duplex is just awesome and is on my build list.
A note on color though. All T-1s were painted standard Pennsy Dark Green
Locomotive Enamel (Brunswick Green) which was effectively black with a green
tint. The gray color that T-1s exhibit in many photos is from accumulated
dirt and grime. The T-1 came very late in the steam era and didn’t always get
the maintenance attention it deserved.

My choice for a dark grey T-1 is actually a conscious decision on my part. I
know they came in dark green-almost black, but I’ve already built a black
locomotive, and I think dark grey would really allow all the nice streamlining
to be seen. I’m actually planning on modeling my version after the
first run of
T-1s, which didn’t have the step railing on either side of the streamlined rail
guards and the wheels were partially hidden.
Besides, I’ve yet to build two locomotives of the same color, it’d be a shame to
start now...
