	: As the new locomotive was taking shape Bill and his family lived near Princeton, New Jersey, where he was a research engineer at the RCA David Sarnoff Laboratories, so it is not surprising that he named his new creation <i>Raritan</i>, after a prominent nearby river. At some point early in its conceptual stages Bill must have realized that his <i>Raritan</i> possessed fundamental elements that would be attractive to others, especially newcomers to the hobby. He saw that a kit of simple high quality castings, clear, easily understood drawings, and detailed machining instructions would enable those first-timers to build their own live steam engine, even if they had little or no practical machine shop experience.		: As the new locomotive was taking shape Bill and his family lived near Princeton, New Jersey, where he was a research engineer at the RCA David Sarnoff Laboratories, so it is not surprising that he named his new creation <i>Raritan</i>, after a prominent nearby river.

	: Then, through serendipity that could only arise in an active live steam club, fellow member Bill Scott had become one of those interested in making a <i>Raritan</i> for himself! The two Bills established an arrangement where Morewood would hand over castings made from his patterns along with sketches or drawings of the parts to Scott, who would make the first piece, and then return an OK or recommend improvements or corrections to designer Morewood. Thus, Bill Scott became builder of the very first <i>Raritan</i>, with the designer’s a close second, for what was now a thoroughly proven product ready for marketing.		: Then, through serendipity that could only arise in an active live steam club, fellow member Bill Scott had become one of those interested in making a <i>Raritan</i> for himself!
