The Scots with their 2a boilers were the most efficient locos ever, this in terms of steam produced & the amount of coal needed to achieve this,
Yep Bullieds boilers were the best at steam production but @ great coal usage.
The 1948 exchange results illustrate the Scot,s virtues

There's a nice quote in Heritage Railway magazine that could make a nice postscript to those: "The steam age did not die in 1968 but, looking back, was briefly suspended."
Thank you very much for all the kind comments everyone - they're greatly appreciated and I'm glad you enjoyed the video. :)
