Performance of Type 5 Loco`s ?

Just a bit of a Competition !!
A few Years ago a series of trials were done with Type 5 Loco`s at EWS.
Identical loads (34 MGR loaded ) from a standing start on identical weather and rail conditions.
Loco types were :--
Class 56
Class58
Class59
Class60
Class66
At a distance of around 3 Miles a speed reading was taken !!!!
Which order do you think the loco`s Finished in ???
Kris
