This page lists GER Class G58 as (LNER Class J17).
However [1] lists G48 as J17. Which is wrong?

- The G58 info probably came from here [2] but I don't know which is correct. Biscuittin (talk) 09:15, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
I have now found a second source [3] listing J17 as GER Class G58 so I have re-named the article GER Class G58. Biscuittin (talk) 00:04, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] North British Railway loco classification
Could we agree on a standard classification system for NBR Locos? So far, we have NBR C Class, NBR G Class and NBR K Class. Do people prefer "C Class" or "Class C". I don't know which designation was used by the NBR.
I have added a few more classes as redirects to their designers so these redirect pages can be expanded into articles in the future. A problem I have encountered is that NBR used the same letter for more than one class, e.g. NBR Class M 4-4-0 and NBR Class M 4-4-2T. I have dealt with this by including the wheel arrangement in the title.
Are people happy with this or would they prefer some other classification system? For locos which passed to the LNER we could use LNER classifications, e.g. LNER Class D31 and LNER Class C15.
The North British Railway Study Group has developed its own classification system, details here [4], but these classifications are modern ones and were not used by either NBR or LNER.
