I thought that the EE type 4 was the Class 50? This article says that the Class 40 was the EE Type 4. Can anyone clarify this? Emoscopes Talk 21:24, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

'Configuration' should link to the UIC classification page UIC classification not the Whyte notation page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.4.131.140 ( talk) 07:01, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
I've removed the following recent addition:
Although 40106 did indeed remain Brunswick Green in service; when Gerald Bowden gave '106 a repaint in preservation, he discovered BLUE paint on parts of the bodywork beneath the green. Further investigations revealed the fact that '106 was already on its way to being painted into BR corporate blue. Someone fortunately realised it should remain Brunswick Green and it was repainted and finished off (very appropriately) in the colour these locomotives looked their best.
The nickname "Whistler" btw came about because of the distinctive sound the loco makes when at rest with the engine idling or lightly loaded. This sound comes from the main engine cooling fan and air ducting but not its turbochargers. You can hear the whine of the four turbochargers when the loco is pulling hard but when the fuel is backed off the whistle can again be heard. Actually the reason the whistle disappears under power is because of the wonderful sound the V16 engine makes at high power. Especially in Bangor tunnel!
I removed it because apart from being entirely unsourced, it reads very like commentary/opinion/personal experience, which is not the purpose of Wikipedia. -- Redrose64 ( talk) 21:56, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

Is there any reason why the Class 37 isn't mentioned at all? They look identical. Mac Dreamstate ( talk) 17:21, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
