Here's a bit of inspiration for an inter-regional cross-country service: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PHJ3x4-bpE A potential problem might have been width over footsteps where the GWR was inclined to be generous.

Miss Prism Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 If there was a potential problem with the GWR outside frame 4-4-0s, it would have been the 8'9.5" over cranks rather than the 8'0.5" over steps. I don't know what the LBSCR/LSWR loading gauge limit was at crank height. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was less than 8’9.5” the results could have been unhealthy: https://dict.leo.org/german-english/Krankheit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
