850's a really quiet loco, even going up the S&C...

[wsr9351]

Yes, alot of Southern engines are like it, none have the bark of for example a GW Manor or a LMS Black 5,the only other one that sounds quiet I think is 88 still lovely engines all of them!

[SteffanLlwyd]

I think this engine has the cranks set so as to give 8 beats per revolution, rather than the usual 4 beats in a four cylinder or two cylinder loco... not at 90degrees.

[SPINNER673]

weren't the cranks set to 135 degrees because it was found to be more efficient? Also I prefer Lord Nelson in late BR livery, SR green is ok though.

You dont waste any time do you, I was on this train waving to the crowds, pulled by the JOLLY GREEN GIANT yesterday.
