    In terms of an engine rather than a locomotive, three cylinders is a better machine than a two cylinder one, giving a smoother torque curve. Just like a six cylinder car engine is better than a four cylinder. However, in terms of locomotives and...

    In terms of Gresley 3 cylinder locos I’ve had the pleasure of 60007, 60009, 60800 and 61994, all of which were good machines. That leaves 60019 and 60103 still to be underlined. :) An A3 is the only one of the ‘A’s I’ve not had the pleasure of...
