Whoever works on the animation and 3D modeling of the T1 deserves a raise.

I honestly cannot tell the difference between this animation and real life 😳

I know this isn’t real but the animation is so good, it’s so realistic! Btw you guys are amazing!

You know, if you guys commissioned someone to do "5550 content" as donationware addons for games like Trainz, MTS, etc. you could probably raise funds for the completion of the locomotive, while also raising additional awareness for the project. I'm sure someone would be willing to work with the T1 Trust to that end, given folks are already making incredible animations like this. It might be worth a shot if you find yourselves falling short on funds or volunteers.

The animation it’s self is beyond impressive and really shows what the engine might look look in the future

Beautiful. The beast of the Prr is coming along.

This animation is so incredibly realistic and beautiful! If this is what the finished product is going to look like in real life the I cant wait!

That was so good that it could’ve fooled me into thinking that the thing already existed if I didn’t know better. One of the many reasons I am excited by this project is that other than the fact that they will be making a streamline steam locomotive (of which there are sadly very little left in the United States) it’s also a long term Precedent, if this project succeeds then I would not be surprised if we will see other organized trusts form over the next several years to re-create other historic locomotives such as the Milwaukee Rd., Hiawatha and the New York Central mercury. That being said I don’t think we will see a full blown Hudson re-created for many decades to come since I think that we’ve still got quite a long ways to go until we get to that point.

Whoever animated this deserves a huge raise

Pretty excited to be a part of this project. Highball, 5550!

have been following youse from the UK; all power to your elbow as they say!! I know you will get there - Tornado is alive and well, took them years but so worth it.

1. Marvelous rendering this is one of my favorite historical locomotives 2. Can't wait til completion one of my favorite whistles is the Pennsylvania 3 chime. 3. Hopefully yell release some merchandise or miniatures of the Loco I'd like one for my desk

I’m super ultra expo insanely abominationly impressed of what you informed us about the Franklin-B Poppet Valve Geer! I honestly can’t wait in 9 years in 2030 until it’s completed and running excursions! 😃👏👍🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃

This was composed and modelled really well, keep up the good work! In the not-so-far future we'll get to see this in real life! And I just want to say great job on the boiler, you've made so much progress its insane

An absolute beast of a locomotive.

Even as an ATSF lover, I hope to see this thing once it's out on the rails 6 years later. It's just too beautiful to not be seen.

Man The T1 PRR 5550 Going Break World Speed😱

Pennsylvania railroad t1 5550 my favourite locomotive dream is come true love from India 🇮🇳❤🇺🇸

the animation makes it look like its actually real

the train looks fantastic

Ok that model is amazing!

I'm in full support of the steam team get that beast done I know you guys can make it

This locomotive has my favorite whistle

Holy shit, this animation is some underrated gold.

Holy cow lovely job on this animation! It's so well done it looks real!

THATS AN ANIMATION? That’s the most realistic looking animation I’ve ever seen

I THOUGHT THE LOCO WAS DONE UNTIL I SAW THE DESCRIPTION! XD

This looks amazing, whoever animated this deserves serious recognition

Hehe the prr t1 is gonna come back and bring back the UNSPEAKABLE POWER

Rather Interesting, I Never Notived thisich detail in any of the old films

Awesome job!!! Maybe there could be a Q2 trust next after the T1 is done.

Bro I swear the animators need to make a rail sim

I like how theyre modernizing it just a bit as well.

I like how you even animated that wheelslip at 0:31,my greatest support to all of you working in this project. Good Luck!

This looks like you've already finished the locomotive. My brain just exploded.

Very impressive. Keep up the good work.

I hope to see it run on mainline railroads one day!

This CGI model is so real you could put it in a movie and convince people that it's real.

Wooh you built it in 2022 i can see the T1 in action

This is what I’m really worried about, this was one of the main problems with the T1 originally, so I’m hoping they will fix it in some way

At least, i thought it was in real life, but i like the camera movement too!

We should get a wooden train of this

Imagine how much money they would make just by selling this model or making a playable versión where you can travel all around Pennsylvania with the 5550

Keep up the good work

That's gonna be FINISHED!!! See ya in 2030 guys!

They restored the FREAKING T1 AAA 😄😄😄

Looks good

Good job!

T1class appear in future at 2030.

Loving the music

I full-screened the video before I read the description and the whole time I was struggling to figure out if it was an animation or not, for a bit I thought y'all had just hooked it up to another locomotive and tugged it along (because the last thing I'd seen of the 5550 was the incomplete firebox)

When I first watched this I thought it was real

❤❤❤❤❤ i soo love it so beautiful.

God that looks so real

when ya'll get this locomotive done irl, smoke that damned A4

it took me 1 hour to realize that this was animated

Long live 5550

If you guys have the interior of the valve gear modelled yet, a video of that in operation would be fascinating. There's a lot of footage of more conventional valve gear in operation but this stuff is pretty novel.

Awesome model

cool

That animation is amazing. I thought it was real for a sec! My question is will she be fitted with PTC to make her legal on the class 1s?

Hey “the t1 trust” how’s the prr t1 duplex 5550 going?

It’s crazy to think that this locomotive will try to break the World Steam Speed Record once it’s completed. That’ll be something to watch

i saw the video and i thought it was real. its that accurate.

Big Boy of the East coast

Damn great job. The wheels speeding up suddenly (slippage?) looked a little weird but I had no idea this wasn’t real.

Even added wheel slip like the real ones had.

man i though it was real lol. looks so real

for finale assembly id say do in at the Juniota locomotive works where it can be put together with care

This looks just like real life

Awesome!

Nice Job.

She'll run like clockwork when she's done.

This animation is great! I do have a question. In frame 0:12 , there is some sort of, for lack of a better word, pump or cylinder that is attached to the 2nd drive wheel of each set, and it is suspended on the outside. What is that?

I hope it wears prr brunswick Green

i refuse to believe this is animated

this is an animation? whoever made this is on x games bro, btw love your organization, i think what youre doing is cool lol.

That is too realistic

I thought this was a real engine, wait a minute 😂 I was like dang didn’t they just finish the boiler?

IN The Spring OF 1954 A T1 Sits Out OF Service With Other Engines AT Altoona Other Locomotives A Found Working The Line East OF Town

Pity that PRR didn't use type B from the beginning - would have saved a lot of pain and frustration!

Wow

Amazing! not a fan of poppet gears by any means but i don't mind since this big steaming beast will be running again!

Wow, that's an amazing model! Can't wait to see the parts in the flesh! Do you guys have a link to the music you guys used? It needs to go on my Yee-Haw playlist.

1st when i looked at it i diddent know if it is real or not and then im still guessing

Trust you should make a song of the t1 to raise more money to build the train because I'm a Huge fan of the t1

it even has the wheel slip in there

I ALMOST THOUGHT IT WAS REAL :(

Excellent animation, is there anywhere we can see the whole thing? I've seen bits and pieces of it all over the internet but not the whole thing

why not put 5550 in the 1942 scheme? more color, the big keystone on the tender, it would gain a lot more publicity

I know some t-1 had a walschaerts

ever since i was a kid i loved the prr s1 t1 and i cant remember the other one if you know please tell me i think it was a 4-4-6-2 on the whyte scale but i was sad when the orignal was retired but i heared there building a new one is this true?

Two Questions: First, will T1 have the skirting covering the front cylinders or not like in the video? Second, will the T1 have inside valve gear, outside valve gear, or the U-joint valve gear shown in the video?

Please rebuild the S1

will the 5550 have different valve gear unlike the original t1's to meet modern standards? something about this valve gear looks different than the original t1 valve gear, but i cant pinpoint what it is, still keep up the great work!

Will 5550 have the porthole pilot or the running board pilot? Personally, I like the running board pilot the best on the T1.

You actually modeled the infamous wheel-slip!

Interestingly Trains Magazine seems to purposefully ignore the T1 Project. They recently listed the major steam locomotive restorations and not a word about 5550. Anyone know why?

somebody should put this on trainz or train simulator idc if its too realistic

👍👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿
