The zenith of steam traction. These beauties could haul heavy mineral to express passenger trains. With 5 foot drivers any one of the 9F's could top 90 mph and at that speed the piston and rotational speeds were equivalent to that of the Mallard on her record breaking run of 126mph. Yet Mallard only did that speed once - any one of the 250 9F's could do 90 on any given day.

@sherbydip re your reply to @bennymilk,
Also to work the brakes on the MRL wagons. They would be air-braked and the 9F would be vacuum braked.
-
Cracking exhaust sound. Love spaceships and Black 5s myself.
-
@sherbydip black prince holds the haulage record at 2158 tons from a standing start; so, a mere 1000 tons is easy.
-
I wonder what Black Prince would look like next to UP 3985, in physical size. Very nice movie.
-
@thediremoose Largely cos its a culmination of a hundred years of Great Western engineering excellence.
-
@WatchdogDisciple Because no cows! British lines are fenced throughout. Some tramway engines, running partly on roads, had cowcatchers, but they were the exception.
-
Ok Great Britan I love you guys and Black Prince is my fav loco of your engines and no offence but seriously why no cow catchers?
-
Brakes.
92203 is vacuum fitted.
Also, I think it was rather more than 1000 tonnes. Closer to 2000.

why the shitty diesel on the end?

@bennymilk so the train can be pulled back into the quarry so they can do more run pasts.

Would this be deemed a rather excessive load for a 9F in its day? or were they regualrly hauling loads like this?

Im no expert but they were designed to pull extremely heavy loads. i think Tyne Dock iron ore trains were some of the heaviest they pulled but i have no doubt they might have pulled this sort of load once or twice! hope this helps.
