I am wondering if any one can give me accurate info on the HOBC (High Output Ballast Cleaner)

I am thinking of throwing it in to a KX timetable but I seem to be having difficulties getting accurate info

Some sites say it's about 780m in length, others come up with 99 SLU's (with SLU being 21ft) so that's around 2079 ft not including the loco's and I've also seen 122 SLU's in length.

if possible whats the max speed its hauled at going to and from site,
From what I gather working speed is to low to accurately set in sim but setting to 1 mph, will certainly cause TT fun

A standard length unit SLU is 21ft (7yards) or in metric 21 ft = 6.4008 m.
