Category:British Railways standard classes
These should not be in - being listed in the BR number series does not make them British Railways standard classes. BR bought them secondhand. Although designed by R.A. Riddles, who later schemed out the BR Standard steam locomotives, he was acting in his wartime capacity as Deputy Director General, Railway Executive Equipment. They were ordered by the Ministry of Supply, and construction ceased in 1945 - over two years before BR came into existence. -- Red rose64 (talk) 19:49, 14 March 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm afraid this is somewhat historical revisionism. Numbered in the BR number series, allocated boiler diagram BR10, tender diagram BR5. Tony May (talk) 15:10, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
