Locomotive classes index
This page is far from complete: it offers four sequences: (1) alphabetical (including both A4 and the various sorts of Jubilee classes); (2) numerical (both GWR and mainly pregrouping types); (3) based on power classsification (Midland Railway, LMS and British Railways, but not absorbed locomotives into British Railways) and (4) Whyte notation. It also demonstrates how homonymic classes will be tackled: Ivatt A4 4-2-2, for instance.
