Yes Adam, that is correct. Also a 9F would be limited to about 50mph (I think) because of its 5 feet driving wheels.
As far as I know Carnforth's 8F is the only freight loco on the mainline at present. It is regularly use on the Cumbrian Coast Line so gets well used. (NELPG's NER 0-8-0 may be passed for use to Whitby)
I understand that the 8F is to get a fast track overhaul in the Autumn. Sadly this will slow down the return of Galatea!
Best wishes,
John H-T.
