tomer satisfaction were all considered. As the selection process moved forward, Beaver Val- ley Alloy Foundry in Monaca, Pa., became the front-runner. The firm has been in business nearly 100 years and are more than capable of pouring the large and intricate driver cast- ings. Beaver Valley was very interested in the 5550 Project, and the Trust quickly saw Bea- ver Valley was going to be the right partner. By the summer of 2015, it was time to
select a pattern-maker. Liberty Pattern in Youngstown, Ohio, has been making wood patterns for the foundry industry since 1917, and was put forward by Beaver Valley Alloy. The team at Liberty Pattern studied our
CAD model of the No. 4 wheel set. They con- verted the 3D digital drawing into a casting pattern, an amazing art in itself. It was de- cided to make the counter weight as a dry-fit so that 3

This fundraising process will be repeated
for hundreds of parts on the finished locomo-
tive.As part of the Kickstarter campaign the Trust offered full-size replica bronze keystone number plate made by Chuck Blardone. The keystones were offered as premiums for do- nations of $5,000. (If you would like to obtain your own 5550 keystone please email info@
t1trust.org.) The headlight that will adorn No. 5550 has
been sponsored and built by Gary Bensman of Diversified Rail Services using original PRR blueprints provided by the T1 Trust. As part of our “Sponsor A Part” program, Founders Club member Eric White made a generous $1,500 donation to sponsor construction. The 5550 Keystone Society is a group of
of the pattern could be used for all
eight drivers. This will save a tremendous amount of money in the future. The first pattern being made can be used for four of the wheels. Then, with a new section fit into place, the same pattern can be used again for the remaining wheels. Liberty Pattern also had to design core
boxes to form all the sand that goes in the internal cavities of the wheel. This is a very complicated and precise art. Once all the cope (outside surface of wheel), drag (inside surface of wheel) and core boxes (inside cavities) are complete, they are mounted on large 96"x96" boards and sent over to the foundry to start the casting process. When complete, the finished cast wheel center will weigh nearly 2,500 lbs. and measure six feet in diameter. The application of the four- inch-thick steel tire brings the total wheel diameter to 80 inches.
Crowdsource Fundraiding, Sponsorships, Estate Giving In July 2015, we appealed to railfans from
around the globe for support in making the pattern. Building a modern steam locomotive requires modern fundraising efforts. Fortunately, we have a few more tools at our disposal than our friends at A1 Steam Locomotive Trust had when they began their work on the Tornado in 1994. The online crowdfunding website Kickstarter was chosen to help raise the inital $20,000 needed for the pattern. After the campaign was launched, we raised $22,577 over the course of 30 days. With funds in hand, the patterns were completed at the end of October 2015.
PRR T1 Trust supporters who have made an enduring pledge to railroad preservation by offering a charitable life income gift to the PRR T1 Trust or by naming the Trust as a beneficiary in their estate plans. Members of the Society, receive exclusive benefits and confidential details about the efforts of The T1 Trust. Keystone Society members also receive the quarterly newsletter The T1 Trail Blaz- er, which contains news and special features describing design and construction efforts to date. Society members also receive a person- alized certificate of membership suitable for framing, a full size print of the 5550 launch painting, the PRR T1 Trust’s annual report, and invitations to special events.
Bringing No. 5550 Closer to Reality Over the next few years, engineering
work will continue and simulation testing will be conducted. As more components are built the PRR T1 Trust will proceed with its fundraising efforts. It will be through a combination of support from volunteers, railfans, foundations, grant makers, corporate donors, and legacy giving that PRR No. 5550 will ultimately come to life in steam. Once the project is farther along, we will be able to better answer exciting questions like, “Where will it run?” and “When will it be done?” Small steps will help us reach our goal. Whether or not you are a fan of the Pennsylvania Railroad or mainline steam, this is an exciting new project that will certainly leave its mark in the preservation world for generations to come.

This CAD drawing (ABOVE LEFT) represents the hollow parts of the Boxpok wheel. Baldwin Loco- motive, along with General Steel Castings, developed the Boxpok driver with a high strength-to- weight ratio, making it perfect for high-speed operation. The cope and the drag are the two prima- ry components for any wood pattern. The completed drag wood pattern (ABOVE RIGHT) is made 2 percent larger than it needs to be to allow for shrinkage when steel is poured into the sand mold.
