Yo APG45, <br />the press runs the country! For example the same story goes for the Wright Bros. Please believe me, I do not want to take away their extremely well organized and hard earned success, but almost 3 months earlier a simple taxman flew (without a catapult like the Wrights) in Hannover, Germany: a Mr. Karl Jatho. Check Smithsonian. <br />Also, I agree the N&W etc. (on the East coast ) engines were more powerful, but not correctly employed (I hope that word is okay) like the Big Boys had been. - Many years ago I was one of the first to buy a Rivarossi model of the UP # 4013, and this engine is still one of my favorites besides the N&W "J" class # 611.
