It betrays a very peculiar mindset to suggest somebody goes to the trouble and expense of travelling with the aim of being disappointed in order to criticise the operator! On the broader points about 'performance', it seems to me that the heart...

So here we are taking water at Heaton just 15 miles from our Morpeth drop off point! It was a nice run up to York with Les Ross doing what it does best. At York the ECML made us late away plus a power failure in York Depot that marooned...

MarkinDurham antwortete auf das Thema GWR four-cylinder arrangement?.
Well, the Midland compounds seemed to do OK, but yes, the UK loading gauge was/is pretty restrictive. I do wonder how Fowler's proposed compound Pacific would have turned out - hopefully with decent axleboxes, but that's another discussion... Mark

"Having done some googling, the 27mph output seems to be the result of a redundant 'fix' to a problem with VSTP source data that was resolved last year. There was a bug with the NR data for VSTPs that multiplied their projected speeds by 2.24,...
