You have never worked inside a big diesel engine then,
Finely divided soot particles get into the pores of your skin and no amount of washing the outside gets rid of it. All of this is a long way from the original topic under discussion but fun to go along with however BBs for huge loaded trains stretching over the hills and Deltics for getting somewhere the same day, sort of like comparing a cart horse with a mail coach horse. Neither is better than the other as they were intended for different uses. Actually I do not particularly like either but that is completely irrelevant but each good for it's intended purpose so I consider them to be equals.
