Actually, unloaded locos get up to speed surprisingly quickly ;-), especially when you go WOT on a 3000 odd hp diesel!

My estate will be getting a remap at some point which should take it straight up to around 120. Add an intercooler and sort the pump and it's 150+. I fitted a towbar and towed a caravan chassis behind it, barely noticed the extra weight. Pug rate the estate to tow 1200kg braked!
