The main text says the higher speed was obtained by a change of gearing and hence reduced the tractive effort, while the infobox gave the same tractive effort as an 08 (35,000lbf). I have changed this to 25,000lbf as given at [1], which fits with an increase in speed from 20mph to 27.5mph.
This source also disagrees with the power (see Talk:British Rail Class 08#Power), minimum curve and build year, but I have left these unaltered as I do not know which is right.
Also, the figures around 50 in the subclasses section are presumably weights, but are they in metric or imperial tons? -- QuantumEngineer ( talk) 15:10, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

help)I access to refs 'Locomotives & coaching stock 1985' (and 2005 version). Quoted data for all 09 /0/1/2: weight '50 t' (I assume t=tonnes and T=tons), RA of 5, engine power 400hp/298kW, tractive effort: max 25000lb (111kN), cont. 8800lb (39kN), max speed 27mph. Build date for originals 1959-62. I'm not saying these are THE figures but does back up some of the details under question? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.135.244.99 ( talk) 10:14, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
This article is currently named in accordance the Wikipedia:WikiProject UK Railways naming conventions for British rolling stock allocated a TOPS number. A proposal to change this convention and/or its scope is being discussed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK Railways#Naming convention, where your comments would be welcome.
Should this be merged with the Class 08 article? They are, after all, essentially the same type of loco just with minor differences for operational reasons. 157.203.254.1 ( talk) 09:05, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
I am adding some tables to match the British Rail Class 08 article. They may look untidy to begin with but please be patient. I will tidy up as soon as possible. Mock wurzel soup ( talk) 21:44, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
