Incorrect train weight
editThere's no way this thing can weigh just 31 tonnes, and 78.4 tonnes when with the tender, surely? Even if the 't' refers to short tons or long tons it still can't be right! Lukeno94 (talk) 20:59, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
- Looks like you're right. The Japanese page lists a few different weights: 14.3 tons maximum axle load, 78.37 for the loco, 47.4 for the tender, 125.77 total in a ready-to-run state. Here tons are metric tons, 1000kg. --Chrsschm (talk) 03:46, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
- Done I've corrected the weights with a reference source, although there is actually quite a lot of variation due to minor design differences. --DAJF (talk) 00:57, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
inclusion of Japanese name
edit"The Class D51 is popularly called "Degoichi" in Japanese." Is this really necessary? The literal translation is "D five one". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.91.129.42 (talk) 18:41, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
