merge[edit]

Suggest merging this article and British Rail Class D3/12

It seems that the two are effectively identical - the smaller batch could be mentioned in the introduction and in a sub setion.

I think it's quite normal to treate very similar models that differ only by a change of operator under the same article. (if they are operated in the same country) Minor technical differences could be discused in the resultant article and I note that both articles are short.

I am not an expert on these machines so if this merge suggestion is substantially in error please ignore. Thanks.FengRail (talk) 05:26, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree[edit]

There are a number of design and weight differences between the two classes which were produced by different designers more than a decade apart.--Das48 (talk) 03:47, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
