Withdrawal dates[edit]

References for these are needed for pretty much every class. If you know of one for even one class, please add it. Tompw (talk) 20:08, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

References - Overuse??[edit]

The use of references seems to be over-the-top and is beginning (at least through my eyes) to be intrusive and making the page complex to read. Can we not place the references in a "Notes" column?? Canterberry 10:54, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:IC250 Cl93 2.jpg[edit]

Done. Railwayfan2005 (talk) 18:23, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Images have been mixed up[edit]

The images in this article no longer match the appropriate loco classes. At some recent point, the images appear to have been mixed up. Is it possible to remove the offending changes and revert to an earlier version? If not, then the images need to be moved to match the appropriate classes and titles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.139.40.7 (talk) 11:16, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Which ones do you believe to be incorrect? --Redrose64 (talk) 18:58, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

They all seem to be correct now. Thanks. Previously, the class 73 large jpeg was mixed up with the class 86 large image. However, as I can't see any edit history, I assume this must have been some technical glitch with rendering the page. Please therefore ignore my previous comment. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.156.31.241 (talk) 23:21, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No Locomotive[edit]

There Is No Class 82 DVT In The Article. AlfreDziku 2 (talk) 22:41, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That's because they aren't locomotives. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 09:52, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think they are. They look like class 91/Intercity 225 Range AlfreDziku (talk) 07:08, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Just because you "think" they are doesn't mean that they really are. The term "locomotive" is from Latin words meaning "self-moving". These cannot move by themselves; therefore, they are not locomotives. What they look like is immaterial, the similar styling of these and Class 91 is probably because they were designed by the same team, with a deliberate effort to produce harmony. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 08:24, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Wrong Amounts Of Scrapping,[edit]

On This List It Say eg. ‘127’ And ‘126’ Scrapped But, On The Wikipedia Page Like British Rail Class 45 It Says 127 Built, 11 Preserved/116 Scrapped AlfreDziku (talk) 06:59, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

First, provide reliable sources per the policy on verifiability. Second, don't capitalise every word. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 08:25, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Numbers[edit]

Some of the locomotives do have TOPS numbers but, they are not listed. AlfreDziku (talk) 07:13, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please Reply to this discussion if you found one of these locomotives. AlfreDziku (talk) 07:14, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

One example is Class 14 All Of Them Only Had Pre-TOPS Number Except 14 901 AlfreDziku (talk) 07:16, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures[edit]

Class D2/7 Has A High Resolution Picture Even Though All Are Scrapped The One In The Photo Isn’t Scrapped AlfreDziku (talk) 12:55, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
