The record as far as I know was 106mph by 35003 on June 26 1967 between Winchfield and Fleet with 170 tons.
Unfortunately, or thankfully, I wasnt there!!
Anyway anything over 85 was illegal, and this was with a clapped out loco too.
and the stories are that no-one ever found out the max speed possible on a MN because the locomotives were still accelerating at the point that the driver had to ease off, or lost their nerve.
