http://www.derbysulzers.com/HS4000.html } has a much more detailed record of what happen to this locomotive —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.39.134.222 (talk) 11:58, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Article issues

There's some confusion in the sources on the weight - between 126 and 133 ton - neither source mentions whether the weight is for fueled or unfueled loco.
No data for Class 47 bogied locos? weight? tractive effort?
Wheel diameter - original figure doesn't match russian reference - maybe the russian wheels were smaller - anyone know?

Also

More info about cabin, also self-exciting generator may need better explaining.
Figure of 70000lbf for tractive effort (maximum?) is commented out in article as it has no reference? is this for what model? source? etc
Some sources say a 10 pole three phase motor - what does this mean ? is one of the poles the rotor? - leaving 9 poles as stator poles?
Also mentioned is a british rail requirement for a 3000hp loco - is there more info on this - did they give up?
Also is there any good/reliable explanation for why brush went for so much overkill on the hp.?
Also can anyone clarify on the type of transmission between motor and axle - exactly what sort - was it folded cardan shaft, or just reinforced rubber flaps - or something else/in between.
Also bogie suspension type?

"The engine is a four-stroke turbocharged oil-cooled design, with the oil being cooled by water in a heat exchanger, and the water-cooled in radiators" - Surely not? Oil cooled would be unlike any other medium speed engine of traction or marine type?81.153.115.94 (talk) 20:45, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Replica confirmed

Hi all came across this scource http://railtube.info/2016/09/project-kestrel-share-scheme/ it's been confrimed that it's planned to build a replica of her as I found the scource for it. Trooper201 (talk) 05:22, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That is a nothing but a fundraising appeal. Please wait until construction (of at least the frame) is actually under way and there is also a writeup in a reputable third-party publication such as The Railway Magazine or Heritage Railway. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 11:23, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
