An interesting archive film of Brown Boveri-built gas turbine loco No. 18000 just after it had been built in 1947 at Baden. Contains some fascinating scenes of railways in Switzerland too. Shame about the weather!

No. The risks of damage or accident is too high
Don't Know
Never
No, but limit them to 85-90mph max
