Building a new steam loco is not really a big deal. It has happened quite a number of times in recent years. In the UK, the LNER A1 Pacific "Tornado" was built, in Germany this one was built 5 years ago: <img src="http://www.molli-bahn.de/typo3temp/pics/1013535b00.jpg" alt=" " /> ... as well as this one: <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/db/IK_Nr54.jpeg/800px-IK_Nr54.jpeg" alt=" " /> Granted, both are smaller locos, and even the Tornado cannot be compared with a behemoth like the PRR T1, but basic technolgies needed to build are just the same. Whether the T1 is a wise choice to build anew, I don´t want to comment. As a lot of the comments in this thread state, there seem to be "worthier" prototypes. But that´s a railfan´s view. From a design point of view, a loco designed by Raimond Loewy might be even more attractive to the non-railfan crowd.
