Phenomenal pieces of engineering.

Does anyone have figures as to their efficiency ?
 
Not very thermally efficient, but who cares, they are magnificent beast. My son had a driving experience on one last week. A short video of Oliver Cromwell in full cry through Twyford.

I'm trying to work out that the diesel-electric is doing. Is it being pushed, or is it helping out?

I don't know what is happening there.

Oliver Cromwell is doing the return journey today - t0520p.htm . If I can, I'll have a gander & see if it's the same configuration.

According to Wiki BR standard class 7 70013 Oliver Cromwell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia OC was recently restored so it should be in good fettle.
