Lo.....the bigger the better!

113 Tons in weight with 60 tons of braking effort.

The max speed is supposed to be 75 mph but, I was speaking to a guy who used to drive them and was told that they did go much faster.

There is actualy a max speed label in the cab, this guy was told by his instructor when he enquired about this maximum 'thats not for you lad'!

Everything is big on it......the oil filters are the size of large paint tins (3 off) the air filters are bloody huge.....the fuel tanks are even bigger (it does 5-6 mpg!)

It makes me wonder how stupid people are when they don't wait at level crossings for the train to pass. What weight could it pull Mark

They regularly pulled 1000 ton coal trains.

Max weight is very dependent on the line over which its been operated.
