@KINGANDCASTLE Yes and no! the drivers like to give it the beans coz it sounds nice, but yes, for example, following battery work on it, she ran light engine with 33053 to alresford from ropley, on the return she was making the same amount of noise as with a 6 coach train! its better though, in the summer she could barly haul her own weight!
