Pennsylvania Railroad T1 Duplex (4-4-4-4) Steam Engine #5544, one of the
Sharks of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
The powerful PRR T1 steam engines were designed for one thing - speed. Their

passenger trains at speeds in excess of 100 mph.
The PRR T1s were designed with a rigid wheelbase, but unfortunately LEGO’s
tight turn radius forced me to articulate her. Still, I am very pleased with
the results.
