HEAD TO HEAD! - Pennsylvania Railroad / PRR S1 vs T1 (Trainz)

This is it!!

The "Big Engine" of Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) S1 6-4-4-6 Duplex, a locomotive built for the 1939-40 World's Fair to show off all the cutting edge technologies of America at the time, racing head to head with the "practical version" of her, The PRR T1 #5500, the production version of PRR's last steam locomotive; she was the answer of PRR to the concept of "superpower" "Northern 4-8-4s" of the 1930s.

*The T1 in this simulator is using the default engine config file by the game developer. *S1's engine config file is adjusted base on the real S1's spec, figures like the boiler size, cylinder's volume, firebox size, total heating surface area, fire temperature and the number of cylinders etc with the help of many nice people from Classic Trains Magzine Forum. ( http://cs.trains.com/trn/f/740/t/2727... )

==If you are good at computer programming and computer simulation and willing to provide a more accurate engine config file to us, we are more than willing to do another race with different kinds of trains by using your engine config file for an even better result==

At the end of the video, it is also the end of the map, so I stopped recording once we know who is the winner. I have some content planned lined up to show others engines which are not PRR and NYCRR's train!

The winner in this race is PRR #6100 Class S1 --- 7200hp 6-4-4-6 Duplex Steam Locomotive
Top Speed reached by S1: 139mph (17:21)
Top Speed reached by T1: 125 mph (17:33)

BTW! In this video, the T1 and S1 were hauling the historically accurate consist of the 1943 Admiral and The Trail Blazer respectively, so the Admiral is a typical American style mixed consist.
