[edit] DX Subclasses

could someone please specify what the different classes are i.e. a DXH has probably been rebuilt with a short hood, but could someone plelase confirm the others? thanks Eonut 00:09, 7 August 2007 (UTC)Eonut

I understand that the "H" in DXH refers to the heavy drawgear fitted to the locomotive, not the shorthood. DXC is a normal coal service DX, and DXB is a DX with Brightstar wheel slip system fitted. --Lholden 00:18, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
