since there where 8 impulses per revolution as opposed to 4, but each impulse happens in pairs due to the rocking link motion, this gave the kings their iconic exhaust bark that sounded like a 2 cylinder, but much more powerful, because they used 2 valve gear inside the frames. this gave them their clean lines, no outside link motion.they could have had 8 distinct exhaust impulses, but that would probably mean external valve motion.
@robertgift Yes there are two cylinders placed between the frames. The left hand outside and left hand inside cranks are set at 180 degrees to each other, as are the two right hand cylinders. The left hand side is set at 90 degrees to the right hand side, thus producing four exhaust beats per revolution.

Well done!

@robertgift Yes, 4 chuffs per revolution.

@thebluetrain57 No. This is a THREE-cylinder engine.
Also, the sound is a little faster than the RPMs.

@helloworld56able The hogwarts express is actually a Hall class, but they're very similar.
