Thanks for writing the article on British Rail Class 77. I noticed you also incorporated the NS 1500 Class as well. I would probably be tempted to write separate articles, as this will allow more detail on each of their respecitive careers to be added without confusion, and also allow the correct categorisation. What do you think? As a note, 1501/E27003 (in Holland) and 1502/E27000 (in UK) have also been preserved. I will upload a photo of E27000 later tonight. Our Phellap 19:03, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
I put the colour scheme in the table to make it immediately more obvious which locos have been scrapped and which preserved. It is the standard as used in other articles, e.g. Class 73, 86, 87.... Our Phellap 20:55, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
I believe that the Class 76 had conventional series-wound motors but the Class 77 had separately-excited ( sepex) motors with the field current supplied by a motor-generator. This was probably the first use of sepex motors on a British locomotive. Sepex (with computer control) was later used on diesel-electrics, such as British Rail Class 60. I have not been able to find a reference to sepex for the Class 77. Can anyone help? Biscuittin ( talk) 13:45, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
I have read that these locomotives had bogies (trucks) identical (|or nearly so) to those of the LMS diesel Co-Co locos 10000 & 10001. Is this true? Were the names removed before or after sale to NS? Livery changes could be added to the table. Barney Bruchstein ( talk) 21:28, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
