I must say that the white knight and great northern are the strongest hornby engines ever brought out, they pulled 9 coaches on my layout, without breaking a sweat !

9 coaches - that's awful! We have 1 in 30's on ours and the longest train I've ever ran is 17 - and most of my engines will haul that.

OK - I'll do some later - but I warn you lighting consitions are awful (It's in our loft).

My A3 (I've only tested it - my Mum wants me to wait until Christmans for it as I've spent all my money on other LNER pacifics) took 12 without allot of trouble.

It should have read 1 in 50, I mis-typed

Loads and loads. I don't kniow but I'd bet some of the Angalo-Scotish trains would reach at least 14 coaxches on th ECML.
