CYLINDER POSITION is shown in column four for steam locomotives. In each case, a prefix numeral (3, 4, etc) denotes more than the usual two cylinders. IC Inside cylinders OC Outside cylinders VC Vertical cylinders G Geared transmission - suffixed to IC, OC or VC RACK DRIVE. Certain locomotives are fitted with rack-drive equipment to enable them to climb steep inclines; and were mainly developed for underground use in coal mines. The pattern of rack used was the ―Abt‖ design. Locos that were built with (and are thought to still retain) this equipment are indicated by the word RACK in column four. However, due to contraction of the coal industry, such locos have often been transferred to sites where the rack equipment is no longer in use. ROAD/RAIL. Certain locomotives are capable of working on either rail or road, many being of either Unilok or Unimog manufacture. These are indicated by R/R in column four. STEAM OUTLINE. Non-steam locomotives, with a steam locomotive appearance added, are shown by s/o in column four. MAKERS. The builder of the locomotive is shown in column five; the abbreviations used are listed on pages 10 to 21. MAKERS NUMBER and DATE. The sixth column shows the works number, the next column the date which appears on the plate, or the date the loco was built if none appears on the plate. DOUBTFUL INFORMATION. Information known to be doubtful is denoted as such by the wording, or printed in brackets with a question mark. Thus, Wkm (7573 ?) 1956 denotes that the loco is a Wickham built in 1956, and possibly of the works number 7573. MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. c denotes circa, i.e. about the time of the date quoted Dsm indicates a ―long-term‖ dismantled locomotive (as an aid to photographers, etc) Note: battery locos not carrying a battery are not regarded as Dsm DsmT used for motorised trollies which have been converted to engineless trailers Pvd denotes Preserved on site reb denotes the locomotive was rebuilt (by, and when, as per list) Note: ―rebuilt‖ infers significant alteration to transmission or appearance; not a routine overhaul no matter how thorough that may have been rep indicates a major repair, and is ONLY detailed in the listings when a ―repair plate‖ is (or was) affixed to the loco (and thus an aid to identification). OOU ―Out Of Use‖ - indicates a locomotive which has, apparently permanently or at least for a significant period of time, ceased work There are cases where all locomotives at a site are OOU but the railway, siding etc, is still in use, utilising a road tractor, cable-haulage or man-power for example. Electric locomotives at steelworks and colliery sites are usually to be found working at Coke Ovens, the grid reference for the Ovens being shown in the usual place, when known.
