<p>[quote user="Buslist"]</p> <p><span style="color:#222222;font-family:'Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:18px;background-color:#eaeaea;">Do we seriously think the people that wrote those letters will still be in positions of power in 2030, when the T1 is scheduled to be complete?</span></p> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>With that logic why bother with the restoration of any other locomotive? Why bother with C&O 2716, or the Dixie #576, since they might not have rails or money to run on 'x' years in the future?</p> <p>The world is always changing and you have to take that into account, but to not try at all is the biggest failure possible. I would rather see the the T1 Trust crash and burn and people learn from what was accomplished and built than to have it be another "Could've-Would've-Should've". Already they have resurected the literally extinct process of casting alloyed Box-pok driving wheels. That stands for something, even if the locomotive is never finished. </p> <p>As the above user mentioned, the T-1 trust is there to build and confirm. They are not obligated to turn it into a regulary operating excursion locomotive.</p> <p> </p> <p>But this is really off topic. Back to the 3001.</p>
