Steve (SERG),
Great job but you should use the correct terminology when referring to "Milwaukee's" 4-6-4 (Class F-7) HIAWATHA locomotives. The Milwaukee Road actually "designed" the first 4-6-4 locomotive as the intended replacement for its aging 4-4-4 (Correct would be 4-4-2) HIAWATHA "Atlantic" locomotives. On the plans The Milwaukee Road called their new HIAWATHA 4-6-4 wheel arrangement design a "Baltic". Unfortunately, Milwaukee's lack of funds prevented their immediate construction so credit for "building" the first 4-6-4 locomotive goes to NYC, which called their 4-6-4 design a "Hudson". Nevertheless, when they finally rolled out of The Milwaukee Road's Shops, (Pretty sure these were built by Alco) Milwaukee called their 4-6-4 HIAWATHA locomotives "Baltics" not Hudsons.
