[MOC] 1:48 Pennsylvania Railroad Q2 Duplex (PF / PU)

[Commander Wolf]

Hello all, I have recently built a model that might actually deserve a post. This is a working, running (albeit only on R104 curves) 1:48 scale model of the Pennsylvania Railroad Q2 duplex. PF or PU motors power all five driving axles, and the design uses no third party parts besides #11 drivers. See the video for a more detailed description.

Astonishing model and nice you made a better version of it(the previous version of the engine got pistons under the firebox and it`s wasn't good )

Yeahhh, I decided not to do the Q1 since it was a one off. Someday maybe that or the S1 though.

Very well done! It’s quite wonderful to see it in action as.

Oooh, nice work building the PRR Q2 duplex. Even if it only runs on R104, it's running. That's a plus.

Did you at some point doubt this engine deserved a post?? It’s gorgeous! Seeing it run is a pleasure, and the detailing is stunning. I actually like the arched window on its side, I can’t think of any other way to capture the look.

Thanks! I think there might be a better solution for the window with quarter circle tiles... or at least something close but more structurally sound. I have to play with it though; maybe if I run it more and the cab falls apart on me more

That is pure class, there is always a new detail to explore in every section. Well done!!
