The foundation that's trying to build a new PRR T1 4-4-4-4 from scratch has gotten the boiler complete now.

They got the easiest parts to fabricate done. It's still an uphill battle from here.

It's just rolled steel. Not even any moving parts.

britbongs hold the record for fastest steam locomotives when one of theirs was recorded to go 126 mph. there's no official record of it but prr t1s used to go 140 mph. when the new t1 is built it its speed will be recorded and it will absolutely mog the british locomotive, which is one of the reasons it's being built in the first place.

i mean i'm happy for you, but, being happy in the sense that "this steam locomotive is faster than a foreign steam locomotive that was designed and built a century ago, which will surely own some people i don't know irl" is somewhat rent free, don't you think?

im mostly shitposting, i think it'll be cool to set the record straight but i dont have any actual animosity for the brits or their locomotive.
also the new t1 is being built to the same standards as the old ones so i think it's a legitimate comparison.

fair enough. i just made a donation - not much, especially given that they're seeking large recurring contributors, but onto the pile it goes anyway.

They haven't found a single track that will let them run that fast and it's likely they never will.
