[edit] TOPS System

There should be a page referring to whole of the TOPS system, not just the locos.

Indeed there should. Why don't you start it off? —Morven 23:19, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)

In addition, this should also include pre-TOPS locos, and possibly also other diesel locos scrapped before the start of British Rail in 1968.

[edit] I'm changing to include the whole TOPS system

Just I'm not too sure about some of the numbering. Articles need to be British Rail class 47 rather than British Rail Class 47. Dunc_Harris| 22:28, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)

  • Since a lot of pages already exist as "Class ??" rather than "class ??" is it really worth bothering changing them? (Our Phellap 01:04, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC))

[edit] Unit Classes Added

I've added all the unit classes in line with the templates i've already created (Our Phellap 01:05, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC))

DMUs - "Template:British Rail DMU" Template:British Rail DMU

EMUs - "Template:British Rail EMU" Template:British Rail EMU

[edit] Naming convention

There is a discussion over the naming convention for the articles relating to the British Rail classes at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (British railway locomotive and multiple unit classes) where your comments are sought. Thryduulf 22:07, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
