5517 was built by the Pennsy's own Altoona shops in 1946 and
as such was one of the last T1s to receive the modified front end and all the
subsequent changes... She remained under steam right
up until 1951.. . As you can see she is missing the cam box covers on
her cylinders, a detail never before captured in model form...

Number 5536 was a Baldwin Locomotive Works product.
She was a very special locomotive: She was the star in the story
"Last Chance" by John Crosby... His tale of guts, grit and speed, set the
T1 apart from
other locomotives and it made her a legend...
She was built in 1946 and remained unchanged until September of 1948... Most all her shrouding stayed intact up until 1948, the exception being a piece of shrouding over the engineer's side rear cylinder... ( Most of the T1s lost major streamling pieces through shopping and repairs...) Number 5536 was a wanderer... Originally assigned to the PRR's famed "Middle Division" in Pennsylvania, she could be spotted in Chicago, Fort Wayne, Cincinnati, and even St. Louis!
