In Germany many of the G8/G8.1 later got a leading truck because of that and beeing renamed to BR 56.
The SNCF loco I'm currently building had a max speed of 60 km/h. It came to France because of reparation from Germany after WW1 by some hundreds. When SoW once will face eastern front I plan to make a german BR 55 loco from it. In WW2 it is one of the most german built steamers ever.
