The criteria for 75mph running is driving wheels over 6’ 1” diameter, the fact they are Pacifics is irrelevant.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that 4767 was specially authorised to run at 75mph because it was fitted with roller bearings and therefore less likely to run hot at higher speed.

The way it’s formed should mesn always guaranteed the 3 maroons behind the tender, assuming the brake gets run to the middle. Plenty of scope up in Scotland for loosing those back 4 and surely invites the challenge.

Unless there’s a jobsworth on duty they usually let you through the barriers if you ask. After the short dip beyond Milford it’s up 1 in 80 to Haslemere. I think the conditional path you have found is the one for the old Surrey Hills Pullman.

8151 is vacuum only and I don't think Mr Smith would want it knocked to bits on the WHL when its straight out of the box after overhaul.
