That looks like fun. I hope they make it.
I'm surprised that unobtainium alloy frames and boilers, carbon fiber bodies, and computer-controlled boilers can't do better than this. Particularly since the steam-powered Mallard locomotive briefly hit 126 mph with a train in tow. 71 years ago.
Looks like a leak. Water spewing out every hole it can find.
"Potential UK Record Breaker Steams to, uh, 80mph" Why belittle what is quite clearly a system test-run? Seems they were successful in the aims of the test.
