I wanted a go at tacking the Lickey Incline without an Banker, i think a Jubliee and a Black 5 tried it once without an Banker up the Lickey on tests? so i picked an GWR King Class locomotive, 6018 with an ten coach train and left Worcester Shrub Hill, i'm didn't obeyed the speed limit as i tried to get it up to it's top speed.
Bromsgrove: Travelling around 80mph through the station

After the speed dropped rapidly i manged to get to the top of the incline with an end speed of 25MPH

Blackwell Station
