"I once had a cab ride in B&SR 8 at Edaville in which I had trouble keeping my balance because of the engine's hunting at speed (a behavior that's apparent even in 1930s silent film footage of 8 on the B&SR), and I doubt we were doing more than 30 mph -- probably more like 20 mph."

I rode #7's cab at Edaville, and she was hunting and bouncing pretty good away from the station area. Didn't care as it was a great experience. Didn't know the fireman, but Jim Dunlop was the engineer.
