@oljefri5 жыл бұрын
A while ago Tornado was certified for 100mph:) kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGiuhnusfMykqqs
Any steam loco with wheels over 6 feet high has the potential to do close to 100 MPH or even more. Weather it is allowed to, weather it can be driven that hard & especially, if it can keep it's steam pressure up, will be they key. The wheels are the gearing. Drive/fire it wrong or too hard & steam pressure drops & power falls off The smaller tall wheeled locos of the late 19th century could attain 80 MPH or so, with a light train. But the bigger Tornado sized engines of the 1930s, could cruse at that speed or higher, with heavy trains. & Germany & a few trains in the USA could = them. Steam may be romantic & the early diesels couldn't beat them (or even = them if the train was long & heavy). Then came the Deltic ( Class 55) Steam was beaten ( with some improvements on this line). Then we have the InterCity 125, the HST., a diesel train with sort of electric train performance. But the modern electrics will leave the HST still clearing the station.

America built its locomotives for pulling power, one engine capable of 140 freight cars at a comfortable 60-70 mph (granted they had a few that could top 110 for passenger service) Britian built its locomotives for speed, and hats off to em for that. I love steam locomotives.

I would watch the episode of the 8 hours of Jeremy and just the train part of the race, the filming is magnificent though

They were meant to bring flying Scotsman to do this filming but the engine wasn’t ready so they’ve put tornado in charge instead
