This article gives the 5700 as a 4FThe British Railways system of classifying steam locomotives by power using a number from 0, least powerful, to 9, most powerful, followed by either F for freight, P for Passenger or MT for Mixed Traffic.. So does Scottish Steam: A Celebration By Keith Langston https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=mPNsBQAAQBAJ&lpg=PT337&ots=b3UyIbOWvR&dq=5700%20AND%204F&pg=PT337#v=onepage&q=5700%20AND%204F&f=false. However, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_locomotives_of_British_Railways and my Ian Allen give it as 3FThe British Railways system of classifying steam locomotives by power using a number from 0, least powerful, to 9, most powerful, followed by either F for freight, P for Passenger or MT for Mixed Traffic., and the 9400 as 4FThe British Railways system of classifying steam locomotives by power using a number from 0, least powerful, to 9, most powerful, followed by either F for freight, P for Passenger or MT for Mixed Traffic.. 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 --Patrick Hearn (talk) 14:24, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
