I have made a few changes to this page (before logging in).
The information I found was the story as it is usually reproduced in books on British Rail owned locomotives. Remembering that the details of these locomotives are a specialist interest (YEC Diesels) within an other specialist interest (UK Industrial Railways) it is not surprising that errors end up getting printed (do not think I am being over critical of the authers, I would rather see some details with errors than none at all).
I believe a 'myth' has grown up about the locomotives in question with the details of 3 or 4 different locomotives being assigned to the two detailed here. I cannot claim any new information on the locomotives but would like to apply information that is reasonably well know about industrial railways to information provided about mainline railways.
I intent to use this page to record any further information that I find.
[edit] Wheel arrangements
The article uses the terms 0-6-0 and 0-8-0, normally steam locomotive terminology. Shouldn't diesel/electric terminology be used? SpaceCaptain 05:19, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
