Naming convention
[edit]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 22:24, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Clarify ?
[edit]Marked as problematic in the text:
Another problem was coolant contamination of the oil, due to cylinder head failure
1. The oil is the coolant ? 2. If the cylinder head fails that is a problem in itself. 3. What does it mean by "cylinder head failure" - it sounds more like a leaky part 5. etc
Is this a mistake, or is it correct? FengRail (talk) 00:03, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
- I think it means that the cylinder head gasket leaked and allowed coolant (water) to mix with the oil. Biscuittin (talk) 19:17, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
Engine displacement
[edit]I have calculated the engine displacement based on 16 cylinders each 18cm diameter (9cm radius) x 19.7 cm stroke:
3.142 x 9 x 9 x 19.7 x 16 / 1,000 = 80 litres

- Minor conversion correction, 16 cylinders each 17.8cm diameter (8.9cm radius) x 19.7 cm stroke:
3.142 x 8.9 x 8.9 x 19.7 x 16 / 1,000 = 78.5 litres

- Other locos
Class 15, same as class 16 Class 17 (2x 6 cylinder engines) 78.5 x 6 / 16 = 29.5 litres per engine.

- I rounded my calculations to the nearest half-litre. Someone has since amended them to a more precise 78.4 litres for Class 15 and 16. Applying the same precision to Class 17 gives 29.4 litres per engine. Biscuittin (talk) 21:50, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
Road Switcher?
[edit]Should we call it a road switcher since it is designed for both mainline freight and yard switching duites? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.93.152.192 (talk) 22:54, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
- See the reply that I left at Talk:British Rail Class 14#Road Switcher? and also WP:MULTI. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:51, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
Class 16 transmission
[edit]According to the article, the class 16 employed a Voith hydraulic transmission, but under the specifications electric transmission is indicated 2A00:23C4:F28A:C001:650B:AEC0:AE2B:3659 (talk) 20:21, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
- Where does it say that
the class 16 employed a Voith hydraulic transmission
