| Note(s) | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Locomotives that derived from those that were built with centre indicator panels were fitted with roof mounted warning horns and were therefore higher |
| 2 | With the Steam Heat generators out of use, the boiler water tank was disused, In many cases it was converted to increase the fuel carrying capacity of the locomotive |
