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.

OK I think I understand "horizontal" in relation to the land! not "horizontal" in terms of picture position!
Thanks for the Pacific clarification.
