    As a Pennsy fan if a Garratt was tested over here the PRR would have been the one to do it. Nice job sir!

    Beautiful work, I love it when model builders create things that never existed

    Pretty dang cool. Ive been designing my own freelanced Garratts and other locos. This reminds me a little of the Algerian Garratts

    Well done project, have always contemplated an American Beyer Garrett and yours was well done. Suggestions: smoke deflectors on either side of the smokestack would balance the narrow boiler, if you get tired of the shark nose you could consider the streamlined water tank of the Rhodesian Garretts. Hope I dont come off as supercriical as I am jealous about your skill, enjoy your beautiful handiwork.

    I can see the fun in this project. Perhaps just to add more PRR caracter, a Shark Nose like T-1 or BP 20 A shark nose diesel would be even better. But in any event, you nail in most details.

    Alco had the North American license for Garratts. Another reason why Garratts were unnecessary in North America is axle loadings. Garratts are known to be gentle on thin track. And, except for the Australian lines built to AAR standards, North American railroads have the strongest rail of all.

    I thought USA never had garratt locomotives, but you made an HO scale model!

    To be more Prototypical, in order to supply sufficient steam to the two independant engine units; the Boilers of Garret locos were of large diameter than a single engine loco boiler.
