Range of similar size types can do this. A notable early problem was an inability to get the prop brake off again when ready to depart. Don't know if this was an engine or airframe manufacturer issue, as the Saab 340 seemed particularly so afflicted. Invariably the right engine, as pax board on the left.

Sudden reminder here of the mid-1970s, earlier 747s, travelling south on Interstate 5 one early afternoon (again) quite some miles south of SeaTac, a Northwest 747 coming alongside which seemed to have just got to about 2,000 feet in a very slow climbout.
