"In 1997 one of the Foster Yeoman locomotives, 59 003 Yeoman Highlander was exported to Germany by Heavy Haul Power International where it was renumbered 259003 and subsequently 29002." (my bold)
- Is this correct, or should it be 259002? My understanding of the DB classification system is that (0)29002 would make it a steam locomotive!? Thryduulf 23:10, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

"They are the first US built (and privately-owned) locomotives to operate regularly on the British main-line" This is not true, the Midland had some US built locos, there is even a book on them! http://www.transportdiversions.com/publicationshow.asp?pubid=2661 Talltim 22:45, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
