January 2019: remove deprecated parameters

[edit]
| framesize = fs - replaced by  frametype = the type of [[locomotive frame]] (e.g. "Plate frame")
| weight = wt - replaced by ''locoweight'', ''tenderweight'', and ''locotenderweight''
| leadingsize = ldsz -  – replaced by ''leadingdiameter''
| driversize = drivsz - replaced by ''driverdiameter''
| trailingsize = trsz - replaced by ''trailingdiameter''
| topspeed = topsp - replaced by ''maxspeed''
| railroad = rr -  replaced by ''operator'' 
| railroadclass = rrclass – replaced by ''operatorclass''
| roadnumber = roadnr - replaced by ''fleetnumbers''
