Description

Inspired by both & . Here's the T1b.

the T1b is a mix traffic 4-8-4 Northen built by the new Pennsyilvania Railroad for many operations and services. The inital T1bs' (top) did not have skirting applied, basically run completely open to the elements. The second itteration of the T1bs' had the skirting applied, this was applied to the inital set of T1bs' for more aerodynamics. When the T1bs were in service, 6 were pulled out of service to be fitted with extensive streamlining to cover up the wheels (also to better wind resistance), the 6 T1bs' along with being adjusted visually entered onto the new 'Pennsyilvanian' Limited service in 2023 (New Age) that started in Philadelphia and ended in Jacksonville, the service would branch-out to other states as well. But, the Great Rail Company ordered 11 T1bs' from the Baldwin Locomotive Devision (BLW resurrected) in March 2025, they're con-currently running Express services on many sub-devisions, some are based at their last stop if the journey takes awhile, additonally corridor water tender is attached to the GRC T1b, which they did from their own shops before the T1b-2s were brought into service.
