I will go allong with the 75 MPH top speed for coal trains, esspecially as thats the top speed of the HHA's (?) that form many of the long haul Anglo Scottish coal trains, although the 2 axle wagons do seem to be getting more use and it's not often you see a coal train with fewer than 21 4 axle wagons any more. Also on the West Coast Main Line, class 92 electric engines have recently been tried on coal trains so 75 mph means 75 mph. As for the 2 axle wagons they have been resprung so as to do 60mph loaded or empty.
