I agree!

I was once told that the whistle was from 60023 Golden Eagle, which was broken up around 1965. Tornado did in fact achieve 102 m.p.h. some years ago.

Freighters don’t travel at that speed here no. If do want to see how fast they go search Tamworth station uk and that is probably the fastest they go

It has run at 100 mph

And yet, they didn't shake themselves to bits. Way back about 80 or 90 years ago, these incredible, majestic beasts reached and surpassed 100 mph, their connecting rods going up and down again over 400 times per minute, massive rods weighing nearly a short ton. The Flying Scotsman, the first to reach 100 mph, would've been at around 418 rpm at that speed, what with its 80 inch driver diameter and the fact that at 335 rpm the speed equals the driver diameter. UP 844 could reach 120 mph and at those speeds it would've been turning at 502 rpm. Insane engineering skills, nothing we have today would be capable of such feats while staying in service with routine maintenance for nearly a century, five years, ten maybe at best in the modern day, old techniques and building standards demanded a machine capable of being on duty for decades with the regular routine checkups and easy part replacements built into the design, and the every-so-often full refresh to the more central core components, and that was it. Built to last forever. If society fell apart now and Humans came back in a thousand years, they'd think we were a steam-era society with a weird fixation on running metal filaments everywhere for reasons unknown.

Tornado is a Peppercorn design

@@bennickss she's the only A1 peppercorn around just so you know

To show as it would have been if it was doing 100mph!

I think you could be one of an elite group; the two people on YT who don't know this.
