The Kings entered service in 1927 with a tractive effort of 40,300 lbf (179 kN), a figure matched rather than exceeded by the Cathedral proposal<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>. Although the King's tractive effort was lowered to 39,700 lbf (176.6 kN) after their first overhaul, they still proved capable of hauling the heaviest West of England expresses without assistance. Furthermore, at the <a href="/wiki/1948_Locomotive_Exchange_Trials" title="1948 Locomotive Exchange Trials">Locomotive Exchange Trials</a> in 1948, 6018 <i>King Henry VI</i> proved more sure-footed climbing out of <a href="/wiki/London_King%27s_Cross_railway_station" title="London King's Cross railway station">Kings Cross</a>, where <a href="/wiki/4-6-2" title="4-6-2">pacific</a> locomotives were apt to slip alarmingly. The King's driving wheels and boiler had also been designed together to stay within the network loading gauge, a limit that may have been exceeded with the LMS Princess Royal boiler.
