there is a lot of talk about governors, I am not fully up on the speck of Boadicea but would I be right in thinking that road locomotives would not usually be fitted with them?
As far as testing an engine's performance as I see it in its working life an engine would have been pushed to work hard, however as the engine not only had a high value to its owner but it would be expected to earn its keep day in and day out so working the engine as hard as we see some engines worked today would have been frowned upon and probably to the extent of sacking the driver. I love to see an engine working hard but it should always be kept within the bounds of reality.
