Merge?

[edit]

Should this be merged into British_Rail_Class_252?

No. Class 252 refers to the whole train for the period when it was classified as a DEMU. The two power cars were originally built as Class 41. The situation with production power cars is similar, the sets were reclassified as Class 253, 253 and 255 DEMUs, but then reclassified back to Class 43 for operational reasons (effectively TOPS wouldn't allow a set to be routed if it had been split).

Incorrect height?

[edit]

I can't see how this train is 5.77m, 3.77 sounds more likely. Can anyone prove me right or wrong? Lukeno94 (talk) 10:22, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I can prove you right and wrong. It's actually 3.81 m to the top of the roof excluding projections, 3.91 m overall. --Redrose64 (talk) 13:27, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

41001 runs under its own power

[edit]

Unfortunately I wasn't there so I'm not offering to make any contributions (as they'd just be hearsay) but there were some great videos uploaded yesterday (31st May) showing 41001 finally running under its own power now that the traction motors have been rebuilt. Perhaps someone from or close to Project Miller can contribute some updates to the page? Squirrel (talk) 19:49, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You don't have to be involved - in fact it is better if, like me, you are not as there are no conflicts of interest! DiverScout (talk) 21:04, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough. I should probably disclose that I am now involved in the project as of a couple of weeks back, but I'll make every attempt to keep things as NPOV as possible. Squirrel (talk) 18:55, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Return to service

[edit]

Have added a new section about the "Screaming Valenta" special which ran yesterday on the GCR (I was fortunate enough to be there as an invited guest). I'd invite anyone who knows more of background to expand and tidy up that section. Squirrel (talk) 18:51, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

More on the powercar

[edit]

Is it possible to add a bit more info on the Class 41 per se? Stuff like how it differs from the production Class 43s? 86.156.102.64 (talk) 00:13, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
