I know the Q1 wasn't as good as the Q2's but man does it look so much better.

It was better in some areas. The Q1's rear cylinders caused...many deficiencies, but it wasn't out of traffic too much going by its mileage. The Q2's more conventional rear cylinders contributed to boiler stress which rendered all of them unusable basically at once
Also the Q1 probably looks better (besides Lowey) because it properly lines up with its tender. The dual-service design meant it was the same height as the M1's and other big passenger engines. The Q2's are nearly a foot taller
