The PRR had a 6-8-6 with separate turbines for foreward and reverse. Didn't last long so I assume the experiment left a lot to be desired. Neat looking loco tho.

That first one kinda reminds me of a (tiny) Jawn Henry.![]()
EDIT: The GT3
Yes, but ours (GT3) was prettier.![]()
But we all know everything is better bigger.![]()
What !!!!, even your petrol bills for running an enormous V8 2 ton "Yank tank" gas guzzler, instead of a nice sensible sized economical car, like we Europeans do ? :hehe:

I forgot: Tech is the one exception to this rule. Everything else is better bigger.so why doesn't everyone still have mobiles that are bricks?![]()

To my knowledge, the most successful
steamturbine was Chesapeake and Ohio's M1 turbine. there were only three made and there is no survivors. The turbines served in the forties and fifties but then were scrapped.
Overland Models has released one model for 2,399.99.
ihave tried to make a trainz version but it has failed.
