It is BVR policy to use powerful locos for the reasons that you explained above. #8 is currently the weakest of the “ZB” fleet, due the poor design of its (original) cylinders. When the existing smokebox is replaced in a few years time, we will look into the options to improve the front end performance of #8 so it can easily haul 12 coaches plus a Guards Van - the same as the other three “ZB” locos. #6, #7 & #9 (ex #10) I look forward to hearing other member’s comments about the BVR, both good and bad.
