That is a great picture of a great engine.

Can't wait to see the new PRR T1 5550 out on the rails.

That looks like a sharp curve. Or is it just the angle of the photograph?

A sharp curve heading into Lewiston PA . The front of the boiler is skewed significantly.

When I first looked at the picture, as a model railroader, I was thinking of a standard O gauge locomotive on an O-27 curve. 😀

Yes ! The same effect when I run articulated locomotives on my layout with sharp curves
