Loren-
I think you meant the T1s..... the T2s were designed to Q standards...
essentially two R4s with a long boiler.
The T1s were GN designs diverted to the Q.  There was some use of the Q
engineering staff in design of new locos on the NP and GN..... the Q had an
advanced testing laboratory and was more than represented in the design
advances in many facets of railway engineering.  The locos may not have been
forced on the Q as much as is popularly thought as they may have been
urgently requested as nothing else was working out for power at the then-new
Galesburg hump, their first assignment.
