If it is, I'd say that's ironic. That old magazine has been staring at me for some time and I always thought the Q1 was odd but interesting. Glad to see they don't just sit around with the stares of, "What weird thing is this?" Nice find.
@DAVE NYC HUDSON PRR K4, I am not usually into the one offs. The Q1 was experimental, only one made. Idea was a dual service. Going from more commonly seeing the Q2, the wheels on the Q1 are very striking. Having one set of cylinders in back allowed for large wheels. Ultimately a fail in that it never went int production. The sole Q1 ended up serving in freight service for quite some time however.
Edit: sorry yes 3rd Rail. Tmcc added and some other upgrades (LEDs and smoke unit)
