Bob, If somebody has an old stash of MR's you might find photos of
John's various engines that won NMRA contests. I think he won the
pulling contest at one time.

Though I never met John, I'm happy to say that I own one of his pieces
of S scale artistry. In the 1980's John scratch built at least two
(that I'm aware of) PRR I-1 decapods. One of which I own and I'm
pleased to report is fully operational on my layout. When I acquired
it about five years ago, the engine hadn't been run in a long while
and it needed some repair. After some cosmetic repairs and
installation of DCC, I must admit that this is one of the finest
running s scale locomotives that I've ever run - a true testament to
John's skills. Take a look at PRR 4618 on it's shakedown run:

Does anyone know what happened to the other decapod(s)?
