The locomotive in the USA which is considered the smallest Standard Gauge ‘pacific’ type locomotive in the world is Little River Railroad #110, currently preserved operational in Coldwater, Michigan, USA.last week's question said:

When was the first Duchess Class locomotive painted into the British Rail blue livery?
I have to comment on Little River #110:
The actual Little River Railroad was not in Michigan, but in Tennessee. The Little River Railroad was a logging railroad based in Townsend, Tennessee that hauled logs out of what would become the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The sawmill was located on, well, the Little River. Late in the railroad's life, they started hauling tourists because of the interest in the beauty of 'The Smokies'. After the Little River Railroad was abandoned, #110 was sold to the Smoky Mountains Railway, which ran from Knoxville to Sevierville. That railroad would also be abandoned. The reason why #110 is so small is because it had to handle the sharp curves found on the Little River Railroad. There is now a small railroad museum with a few pieces of equipment and a Shay located outside of Townsend.

My Answer
I'm answering March 1946. BR 6234, the Duchess Of Abercorn was given a blue/grey scheme(assuming that would be referring to the BR Express Blue Scheme)
Answer 1: None, they're not moving, or pulling anything, there for aren't using, or displaying, any power.
Answer 2: If you mean possible maximum horse Power, then theres 20 rows, with roughly 20 locos on each, except that there are at least 3 rows where you can't see all the locomotives..... So 20 x 20 x 3800 = 1,520,000. Subtract a few locos out of the shot edge and figure about 1.5 Mill. In which case Trainboi1 had the right of it.
Edit, although, recounting again to double check, Im coming up with 18 rows.... which would put it at 1,368,000. Subtract a few and say ball park 1.35 Mill.

There are some lines in the back that seem to be missing a few locos. Then there are partial locos in view so should that be a factor? Plus its a TANE image so that probably doubles the available power. :hehe:
But I suspect its a trick question.
As I'm TANE (pre) beta tester, I wonder if it is a test scenario to try and break TANE. It seems likely.
