Dear Roger,
It may seem daft to anyone who doesn't analyse what is in their view i.e. a non artist, but if you look at photographs, you will see that sleepers are ALWAYS horizontal. I know that when you look at real railway track this isn't apparent.
It also follows that water is flat in the horizontal position. Try drawing a river with ripples NOT in the horizontal plane and you will see that it looks wrong.
On the "Pacific", this name is given for the 4-6-2 wheel arrangement of the loco. There are many different types of Pacific such as; Merchant Navies (Clan Line), Britannias, A4's (Mallard) and so on. Each class is different, but thay are all Pacifics.
Regards, Tony.
