That cutaway is awesome. I didn’t know the flame tubes were packed that tightly.
This kinds fits here. I can remember my Great Aunt and Uncle taking me to Mobile Alabama to see this once in a lifetime chance back in 1976. Great memories…

Among the many other things that I have to be Thankful for, I am most Thankful for the fine work that Phil and CederQ do here…’specially these Old Trains…and The Lady Friend that I forward them to. Did I make mention that she is as hot as the steam coming from the locomotives depicted? 😉
Another phenomenal set as usual, thank you Brother.
1 and 3 get the highest appeal award for the most belching black smoke
11 gets High Honorable mention for baddassery
And a nod to the foundry workers, steel industry, machinists, coal miners, land surveyors and engineers of all stripes: way to go men. Thanks for your services.
(18) Both locomotives are rated at about the same hp (around 4400)but the steam engine won’t trip an over speed alarm at 70 mph and easily reach 80 plus .
