Talk:British Rail Class 01

Comment
According to http:thejunction.org.uk, there still seems to be quite a number of these locos in service, mainly with the MoD, but there is no mention of this on the entry.

Claim 'first to carry unicycling lion emblem'
This is clearly incorrect on the grounds that the unicycling lion was introduced in 1949, and the first 01s were not built until 1956. I have accordingly removed this claim. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Slaffter (talk • contribs) 22:24, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Indeed, but you also removed the statement that they were the last to carry that emblem, which is quite true. -- Red rose64 (talk) 23:01, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Claim " still carrying their original livery of British Railways black "
There is Oxford Publishing Company(OPC)postcard no. 98 which shows 01 002 in BR Green at Holyhead Quarry on 23/7/74. So the locomotive must have been repainted into black livery between 1974 and 1981 as a historic reversion; it did not retain original black livery for whole life. --Jayceemodels (talk) 15:17, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I have that postcard somewhere. I seem to recall it being a black loco on that card though; I must dig it out. -- Red rose64 (talk) 22:25, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Found it (evidence: last line of caption is "Quarry on 23.7.74. Photo: A. M. Clarke"). Loco is definitely black: are you sure that your card hasn't faded? -- Red rose64 (talk) 23:35, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
