Revision as of 20:48, 2 May 2024

New page updated. Does not (yet) include Class 41/43 power cars but otherwise more or less complete. It coould do with a fresh pair of eyes! Edit: For consistency it needs the named locos formatting changed so 08769 [D3937] Gladys becomes 08769 Gladys [D3937] --Patrick Hearn (talk) 20:23, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Wow! Thanks. Not my area of expertise I hasten to add. A couple of thoughts. Wondering if it is worth sub-dividing the Mainline into BR power classifications ('BRBritish Rail or British Railways Type 1The British Railways classification for diesel locomotives of up to 1000 bhp', 'BRBritish Rail or British Railways Type 2The British Railways classification for diesel locomotives of 1001 bhp to 1499 bhp', 'BRBritish Rail or British Railways Type 3The British Railways classification for diesel locomotives of 1500 bhp to 1999 bhp', "Modern traction" etc). Also under the 'not included' headings would be incoming railtours (if there have been any - see also steam for the same thought). I'll have a bit more of a detailed look when I have a chance. --Robin (talk) 14:50, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
