That was my thinking,  Chuck.

Mike, I share your feelings for the FEF-4s, however the main rod is connected to #2, as it is on N&W 611.

Curiously, the Big Boys and Challengers use the #3 driver: that is a lot of steel in motion.

I had not thought about the rod and tractive effort relative to the 18s and 19s. This explains why 315 and 318 survived so long. Tell us more, Mike.
