Question concerning specific train number

Latest comment: 7 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

I received a request (VRTS ticket # 2017091510009353) regarding the Service section of the article, specifically the line [Class S2 no. 3793] was eventually replaced by Class 19D no. 2479 which was also painted blue. One of the provided references lists the replacement as 2479, but I was shown a second image that appears to be numbered 2749. I do not have access to the book source that could confirm or deny "2479" over "2749", so for the moment we're at one image per number. As this is far from my area of expertise, I am opening this discussion. WP:TRAINS has been notified. Primefac (talk) 14:25, 15 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

It is a typo, either by me or the quoted source. There was no Class 19D no. 2479, so 2749 is correct. I'll fix it after supper and a glass of heart medicine. - André Kritzinger (talk) 15:20, 15 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Corrected in South African Class S2 0-8-0 as well as South African Class 19D 4-8-2. My thanks to Eagle Eye! - André Kritzinger (talk) 17:17, 15 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
