LOL I thought these class 31's were gutless? I don't know why they've got scenarios with heavy cement wagons!
Just been reading some of the spiel on them and you're right! 45mph top whack & it said if I want to run it on another line (west Somerset) I have to make sure to couple the vacuum up for it. Looks like I'll be overshooting loading & unloading areas then



I wonder if these 31's have the 2mph target speed control device for loading coal wagons? Might make a mess of them too
