Why at the type 50 restriced to 90mph? I always thought that they were capable of 100mph. Does anyone know the maximum speed of the Type 44's D1 -D10 I just missed working on them but I recall that an old hand told me that they had a huge tractive effort but were restristriced to 75mph. D2 was regeared to 100mph for some high speed runs on the LMR prior to electrification in the early 60's.
