Can one imagine the work load on the crew, just two on the footplate remember, when Mallard did it's stuff at 126 mph. Must applaud driver Duddington and the super human effort by fireman Bray to provide all the necessary steam , must have shovelled continuously !

Unofficially Duchess of Hamilton reached 96mph descending shap in mid 1990’s, was on board, and there have been several unofficial 90 mph approx runs by various steam locos

I wanted to know why don’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for the main line Train so they extend the new abandoned underground stations. Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock that includes the class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign them an overhead line and also make them into six cars per units and also having three Accessible Toilets on that six cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Volvo TD102KF, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXC, Gardner 6LXB and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 8-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into an 11 car per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers? A Stock Train and also having 8 DisaAccessiblelets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it bigger and extend it to bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those 4 European countries such as Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Train tunnel into a High-Speed train? The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Train line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. then put the modernised 11 car per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those 4 European countries such as Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 cars per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 37 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project that is OK for London Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. Oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly line and also build a brand-new underground train station so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street and also make another brand new tunnel train station in Chingford and could they extend the DLR? All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo TD102KF, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Six carriages three accessible toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to create more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and they can order Every 17 Octagon and Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique minor no.13 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 117MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 117MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 16 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those fascinating Journeys Please!!!!!! oh, can you make all of those Coal Boxes’ 16 Tonnes for all of the 117MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us, passengers!! so please make sure that the Builders can do as they are Told!!

Because, at that time in the UK, we had very little oil, unlike the USA: it was only later that we found large reserves offshore in the North Sea. However, we had massive amounts of coal in the ground, which had fuelled our Industrial Revolution in the 19th Century - and we still have large coal reserves underground, although we no longer mine the stuff. Transporting the coal was no problem in a small country, once the canals had been constructed in the 18th Century, followed by the railways in the 19th. The expansion of the railways was driven, in part, by the need to transport the coal, other raw materials and finished goods, as a result of the increasing industrialisation of the country. PS There was also the small matter of a war between 1939 (not 1941)and 1945, which left our cities bombed and the country broke. Nevertheless, the railway companies had their steam locomotive construction and repair workshops largely intact and we constructed the last few steam locos into the 1960s. PPS Please note the use of the letter 's', not 'z', in Brit spelling - and it's a 'zed', not a 'zee'.

In the U.S. diesels became an economic necessity for railroads to compete with other forms of transportation. They required less maintenance than a steam locomotive & could do the same amount of work for 60 cents that a steam locomotive did for a dollar. Plus you are right about the development of the petroleum industry in the U.S. being a major factor.

Steam has potential to be incredibly powerful, regardless of efficiency. Steam locomotives are less than 10% efficient if I remember correctly, they are dreadfully inefficient machines, but saying that they are very powerful. Tornado produces over 2000hp, a Duchess class over 3000hp, that’s a lot of power. But a diesel engine can produce that much power at I think about 7X the efficiency of steam.
