Closeup of a Key Imports N scale Q2 Duplex 4-4-6-4: Amazing. I can't even see some of the detail in person, I have to take a picture, then blow it up to see it. I cannot imagine how the Korean Samhongsa craftsmen do what they do. More on this Pennsy loco at Wikipedia: PRR Q2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia And the story behind how USA duplex steam locomotives came to be in the first place (promoted basically by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in the 1930s): Duplex locomotive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia While with the benefit of hindsight, we can see that the problems that the Duplex were meant to solve, in the US were more effectively solved in the conventional 2-cylinder steam locomotives..... That fact was not yet known or apparent in the 1930s, when the Duplex concept was being promoted by Baldwin's Ralph P. Johnson, their chief engineer. Enjoy, and have a good week!
