This https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:C26852/2022-05-21/detailed looks like loco and support coach alone going out to turn, leaving...

It must indeed be more complex than either constant power-to-weight regardless of size or a square/cube law. It could be interesting to see what...
Absolutely, but Paul is right too. Every instance of WIBN (apart from non-serious ones suggested only for fun, of which not a few appear on here)...
