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 massive boilers and split driver design were capable of hauling 910-ton 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.
