A definitive source for 4F
I'm sure I read somewhere the power classification had been wrongly published and the error had been perpetuated. Can anyone comment authoritatively, and reference it (and the error) in the article please? Thanks --[[User:Patrick Hearn|Patrick Hearn]] ([[User talk:Patrick Hearn|talk]]) 14:24, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
:I suspect I got 4F for the original article from the Bookazine "British Steam Preserved", whose author was Keith Langston as above. Classic British Steam Locomotives (ISBN 1-86147-138-6) also goes with 3F in line with Wikipedia / Ian Allen. I'd be happy to change it to 3F as being the more likely, pending definitive information.--[[User:Robin|Robin]] ([[User talk:Robin|talk]]) 15:48, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
I have changed it, referencing both. Thanks--[[User:Patrick Hearn|Patrick Hearn]] ([[User talk:Patrick Hearn|talk]]) 19:12, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
:I have now found some definitive information, courtesy of Michael Clemens website. The document [http://www.michaelclemensrailways.co.uk/?atk=559 Midlands Division (Ex WR) & Gloucester District - Locomotive Route Availability (Branch Lines)- June 1963] confirms that BR(W) rated the 57xx as 4F. I will update the article accordingly.
