I removed the picture of the locomotive at Sofia as that is a DDR design V60 rather than BRD. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.90.58.148 (talk) 12:58, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

merge proposal[edit]

They seem to be the same model

Suggest a merge or maybe something else.Carrolljon (talk) 23:51, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Neutral. The HŽ series 2133 could be merged as a section of this DB Class V 60 article. However, those interested in Croatian Railways may prefer a separate article, with its own Croatian locomotive navbox, and which can be built on in due course. No question that the two should be linked though, so well spotted! Bermicourt (talk) 09:04, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have added words and links on both articles, so they clearly refer to one another. Bermicourt (talk) 09:11, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Great that satisfies me - I don't know the exact details of the croatian locos (eg where there any changes made etc) - otherwise I'd guess it would be possible to simply copy the infobox across.

There's a couple of templates that might be useful for the croatian article:

- - {{associated main|DB Class V 60}}
  - {{see also|DB Class V 60}}
  - {{details|DB Class V 60}}
  - It's really up to whoever does the croatian train articles, I'm happy to remove the merge proposal after a few days - just to see if anyone else has strong opionions.

Personnally I prefer a separate article as long as it's got aa clear link to the other, hopefully it wouldn't be neccessary to duplicate too much info on the croatian pageCarrolljon (talk) 12:53, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have merged both the articles HŽ series 2133 and NSB Di 5 into this article. Both were bought used from DE, and therefore have identical specifications. Both the other articles are lacking in details, and the readers are much better led to a proper article about the class. If all three articles were expanded to full scale, they would duplicate the specifications section verbatim from each other. Any history section concerning their (rather limited) use in both Norway and Croatia can easily be covered within the scope of this article. Navboxes and categories have been moved as well.
