Think about the Ss, Ts and Qs and reconsider.  Perhaps they weren't  
very successful, but they were state of the art in their time.

Wonder if PRR, with a history of avoiding improvements to steam  
design, would have considered lateral motion boxes without the  
'opinion' of others to influence them.  PRR long resisted modern  
steam ideas, such as boosters, 4 wheel trailing trucks, and never  
designed  a 4-8-4 (excluding one electric).  For 20 years from the  
time of WW I until the borrowed technology of C & O's 2-10-4; PRR  
sort of hid its head in the sand.
