Pictures of the First?? 3 Rail Scale engine

Pictures of my Pre-war Lionel full scale 700E NYC Hudson engine.  Is it the first mass produced 3 Rail Scale engine? Scale dimensions.  Lots of detail.  Scale couplers.  Engine and tender reasonably close coupled with a double drawbar.  All wheels with flanges.  Runs on 3 rail track.  

 

What do you think?  Is it 3RS and if so is it the first 3RS engine?  If yes then I suggest that Joshua Lionel Cowen was the very first 3 rail O scale guy.
