:First thoughts. I'd add to the list testing (Blue Peter), high-speed testing (Metro E) and storage (Strathspey's Mickey Mouse) to the list. For contracts I'd think about whether to include boilers, but I'd be inclined to stick with frames = loco. More thoughts will no doubt follow.--[[User:Patrick Hearn|Patrick Hearn]] ([[User talk:Patrick Hearn|talk]]) 23:10, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
::Thanks. Agreed on "frames=loco" and those you propose to add. I've checked the ones you've added against my working list and added a couple more - all the categories to date now agree. I've got all the WD and other ones listed so just need to copy and paste in, unless you're already on the case. A few other thoughts:
::*I think for consistency we could refer to all the 'testing' and 'running in' entries as 'test running' with additional notes about high speed, loaded tests using the MK3 stock etc as appropriate. Which I suppose means we need to create a separate page for [[Steam and diesel locomotives visiting the SVR for test running]] in addition to the [[Steam and diesel locomotives visiting the SVR for contract overhauls]] page.
::*To be fair to the Diesel groups, we ought to create a similar [[Diesel locomotives at the SVR in preservation]] page. Probably grouped just by 'Main line' and 'Diesel Shunters' unless you've got any better ideas.
