Article gives the introduction dates for the prototypes, but omits the dates for the production examples. This would be useful.

Thanks! I've re-reverted the text. I'll try later to 'hack' the text around a bit. Unfortunately at the moment I haven't got a written source for the Saints (but may be able to get access to one). Ning-ning ( talk) 15:34, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
I've removed the following from the lead section:
partly because it's not mentioned elsewhere in the article (see MOS:LEAD) - if included in the lead section, it is somewhat sensationalist; but mainly because at a time when very few locomotives had achieved even 100 mph, a claim of 120 mph is very much dubious. It is sourced: but is the "Illustrated Book of Rail and Steam" the most reliable of sources? The title isn't quite "Boys' Book of Steam Trains", but I'm still highly sceptical. There is no mention of this "record" in the RCTS "Locomotives of the Great Western Railway" part 7. -- Redrose64 ( talk) 07:53, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
I am not sure how to deal with the infobox as the different series have so many differing dimensions (loco weights, tractive effort, wheel wheel base, wheel arrangements etc. etc. Can anyone suggest what to do? Das48 ( talk) 15:02, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
If you think that Lady of Legend needs more prominence, or to be included in the main table, please discuss first. Andy Dingley ( talk) 12:13, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
