      A few years back while seriously drunk, a housemate of mine showed me a video of a dog running, but then giving up halfway and falling onto its side. I don't know why, but that video broke me. I couldn't stop laughing for at least an hour. Breathing was horribly difficult, the muscle aches in my abdamen was excruciating, and if I dare view that video to this day, it will do the same. It isn't a special video, but just a video that felt too metaphorical and has ruined me. I feel for him. This is torture and he wants out, but once the image is in your head, their is no escape.

      That massive wheel (or rather, pair of wheels) was part of its success as an express engine; bigger diameter = more speed, so a single pair of enormous-diameter wheels let it go bloody fast for the day (also helped that unlike the Caley single or the Lord of the Isles class, it was outside-cylinder).
      Of course, the downside to it was that only gave it a single driving wheel to brake with, so it was sh*t at braking at speed. That was found to be a factor in the Abbots Ripton disaster being so deadly, and gave greater urgency to fitting passenger trains with continuous brakes.

The reason why Express engines have big wheels is so that they can go fast, like real fast. Goods engines like a 9F, have smaler wheels, to aid in traction.

    "75 shots to reach a score of 650" were the point I taped out saying, for someone calling archery for "arching", then he couldn't be lying, since the actual scoring system is very close to what he stated.
    Though, Olympic archery is a bit "faster" since there is only 12 arrows per match between two archers. The qualifying round though consists of 72 arrows. (and 10 points is the highest score one can reach per arrow, meaning that 720 is the maximum accumulated score if one shoots a bull's eye every time 72 times in a row.)
