:Good point! "Citation required" as they say on Wikipedia. I'm not sure, but I think the original source was the Stock Book which actually reads "...paved the way for the design of the last main-line diesel '''passenger''' locomotive for British Railways. The 56/58/60 were all Type 5 heavy freight locos which would fit with that, and according to Wikipedia the only subsequent Type 4 was the Class 57 which was a rebuilt Class 47 so not really a new design. I'll tweak the wording and cite the stock book so we know who to blame if it's wrong! --[[User:Robin|Robin]] ([[User talk:Robin|talk]]) 14:25, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
