    Three round trips of 18 miles each, so at guess I would've thought about 70-80 would be ideal.

    According to shed staff, BvR2 sadly failed on it test runs and had to be rescued by Bvr3, whilst the traction motors were being mapped there was issues that basically shut it down. It's currently available for use but is running on 3 traction motors not 4. A new one is on order from the other side of the world by Clayton, but there long lead times...... further driver training for existing diesel drivers is currently being planned. At 13.6t is quite a brute!

    I think it's a Co-Co, it's just that there's very little gap between the bogies.

    I had to look closely before coming to the same conclusion. Pause the video at 0:20 and you can see the gap.
