Wow two drive wheels have been made. Give me a break.
Obviously YOU could do much better?
Who is going to cast the frame? Not here in the USA.
Since you seem to know so much about this, why can't the frame be constructed/fabricated of castings and weldments?
For all those that have donated money to this worthless cause (my opinion) should ask for their money back.
Glade you pointed out that is your "opinion"! In my "opinion" you don't know what you're talking about.
I agree with guns all the money and effort put into the T1 project would be better spent on restoration of a already built engine.
OK, pick one or two locomotives that COULD be candidates for restoration, that would also have a place to operate and equipment to pull.
They already have a Company in the good old USA that wants to do the work manufacturing the frame. David1, you would do well to do a little research in the matter before posting. The issue isn't fabrication of the parts, it's the money they require to get this project done.
