Not bad for a 0-4-0T Midland Shunting Tank...............

There used to be a real world LMS/LMR region train which was usually about that size, albeit "only" empty carriages being rebalanced, tho..........

Way over the weight and length limit.

Report to your supervisor when you return to your home depot.

Just pulled around 30 16T mineral wagons using Peter Harvey's WD 90775, plus it was on the far north line, which has some big gradients in places

View from the brakevan

Climbing with of the steepish gradients

She even managed to top 58mph with these lot on

impressive, but 33 coaches with one tank engine but only got up to around 5 mph, before running out of steam
