Wow.... the steamer truly out-accelerated the modern train to its right. Considering the older coaching stock - both with heavier carriages and with a greater rolling resistance per carriage - the steam engine is obviously more powerful. Unlike the modern unit, the peak power output of the steam engine is likely to be around 80 kph, so even in this lower part of its power range the steam engine came out on top. So, overall, I'd be forced to say 'amazing' !!!~!~!~!

De loc doet de bijnaam (dampfsprinter) eer aan

Prachtig, maar ik betwijfel of die sprinter wel vol gas gaf

I think this tank locomotive is not too bad.
Despite its larger water tanks and coal bunkers makes it looks hefty, it is able to startup faster than a modern electric train.
I wonder how many feet it will get in a second(feet/second)?

[@GewelReal]

no way it outaccelerates a modern electric

[@wharris302]

that is slow, fast for a steam train but slow compared to modern stuff
