[SEL] The Sweeney Locomotive Exhaust Nozzle

[Peter Lowe]

Hi David
Thank mate, did not see that link before when I was looking.
Arnie will come back now and say what did I find on R&V, well Arnie, read 
the book ;-))) I had a MAJOR break through on R&V today and the book is back 
on the drawing board in earnest.

What does UP stand for, is it Union Pacific ??
