Talk:LNER Thompson Class L1

Driving wheels
I find the story about small driving wheels leading to excessive wear rather hard to believe. A diameter of 5' 2" is not ridiculously small for a suburban passenger tank. The GER Class L77, which was also a  suburban passenger tank, had driving wheels of only 4' 10". I think a more likely explanation is that the engines were being driven too hard in order to get maximum acceleration. Biscuittin (talk) 19:15, 25 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Indeed. Just how fast did these suburban passenger trains run, for goodness' sake? 86.176.160.42 (talk) 00:17, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
