The limiting factor on the speed of the Bullied Pacifics was the fireman's ability to keep the firebox going. As we all know, steam was produced at fantastic rates & a mechanical stoker would have been invaluable. I, personally, have seen 104mph, with 34032 Camelford, through North Tawton & Bow during the bad winter of 1963
