[edit] Classification queries
I have a couple of queries regarding the "Fleet details" table. Firstly, the fact that Class 31/4 is shown as 17 built + 53 converted, whereas I was under the impression that they were all retrofitted with the equipment, just that some were done many years earlier than others? In other words, I thought that all 70 are really converted (even though some of them have been 31/4 for as long as TOPS classifications have existed).
Secondly, I was once told that 31/5 was not an official classification, and that the 315xx locos were officially 31/1s. I only have the one source for this one, but it was someone who generally knew what he was talking about regarding TOPS classes...
Anyone have any better knowledge to confirm or refute either of the above? Quackdave 22:48, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] February 2007 sighting
I saw two Class 31s at Selhurst Depot the other day, one at each end of a NR test train. One was in NR all over yellow, the other was dark blue / black with a red stripe and a nameplate - does anyone know which locomotive the second one was (I'm assuming it was on lease from FM Rail)?
