[edit] Naming convention
There is a discussion about the naming convention to use for articles about British locomotive and multiple unit classes at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (British railway locomotive and multiple unit classes). Your comments are more than welcome. Thryduulf 22:27, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
[edit] 73138
With respect to my recent edit, the AC Locomotive Group's page on 73138[1] says the following:
"Electro-Diesel 73138 is privately preserved by Group members but has been restored by the Group and was used as our depot shunter at Barrow Hill until 2006. It has now moved to Long Marston for further use."
I didn't change the location, since I don't know which (if any) of the wiki pages on Long Marston should be linked to. J-Deeks 14:37, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
Yesterday, (Spring Bank Holiday Monday) 73114 was sat at Ebbsfleet International railway station on the new CTRL.Appeared to be on engineering detail. Britmax 12:31, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Multiple unit control and braking system
Mention needs to be made about the specialized control and braking systems fitted to the the class 73 locomotives, such as their ability to convert the control and braking interface from one type of control to another ie. air <-> vacuum braking. (SouthernElectric 13:32, 23 September 2007 (UTC))
