Interesting Philip, in the first half of your article quote the writer stated that the narrow gauge train whizzed past at 50 mph. Brings me to mind of the thread talking about the T-12s’ top speed and what 168 might have done. Now you can’t trust journalists to be exactly correct, especially the ones in the flowery days of yore 
, but I’m still in the camp that thinks those sleek tenwheelers could have touched 60 mph given the right conditions.
Cheers,
