Would you reconcile the claim in the current "Live Steam" magazine that "Iver
won at Diamondhead" versus the report which is attached?
Thanks for your prompt attention.

This absolutely not correct! The complete results were posted to the Small
Scale Steam Models group, in message #419, as an After Action Report. The
pulling contest results are listed below. As you can see the Iver placed 6th
out of 10 entries
Drawbar Pulling Contest
Tom Reinhardt BR96 3.53 pounds
Bill Payne Aster Climax 3.36 pounds
Tom Joslyn SRRL #24 3.27 pounds
John Garrett DJB Climax 2.13 pounds
Bruce Gathman Sammie 1.84 pounds
Ernie Noa Iver 1.75 pounds
Larry Herget Dunkirk 1.54 pounds
Terry Griner Ida 1.32 pounds
Jim Sanders Bantam 1.16 pounds
Terry Griner BAGRS 0.23 pounds
The dead weight pull was interesting. The Sammie and Iver pulled over twice
as
much per driver than the big articulated BR96. Maybe the low pressure set of
drivers was in by-pass mode and wasn't doing any work.
