How difficult was it on 3895?
She was EXTREMELY difficult to fire, plus she made LOTS of smoke, no mate what you did!

Jack,

How much of that was due to the relatively light trains and therefore lesser draft on the fire? The overwhelming comment I've been told by the majority of those that had the chance on the NS side of things was that 611 was far easier to fire than 1218 because the J was actually working as opposed to the A being so overpowered it would drift more often than not. The one differing comment was one who preferred the 1218 since it was far easier to catch up if you got behind--no surprise.
