Wanted to report that I had an extended telephone conversation last evening with Dr. Brad Noble the head man behind the PRR T1 project.

I found him to be realistic of the large challenge ahead of them and I was quite impressed with the game plan they've laid out to accomplish the mission.

The single most critical question is can they raise the $ 10 million dollars needed to fund the building of the engine. The answer to that question remains to be seen.

I wish them every success.

I posted this earlier on the original thread on this subject which subsequently vanished.

$10 million is no small ammount of money. Glad the conversation was productive and I wish them the best as well.

Ross, maybe you can provide some guidance to them?

Ross, the thread didn't vanish...it simply got moved over to the Railfanning forum, where the thread is still alive and well...
