Depends what class you are on. 4-6-2's give a much smoother ride than a 4-6-0. An 0-6-0 can bounce you around at speed (like a Q1) If you get a ride with a good crew you will stay clean enough. otherwise you will come home covered in coal dust. Running light with the fire hole door open you will feel the heat. So many factors involved here to give you a clear answer. But as a one off experience you will love it and remember it always.
