Cleanup[edit]

A cleanup head was inserted by an editor yesterday.

Here's what I did since:

1. The article is short, so the lead I came up with is brief too.

2. The lead image width was reduced from 400 to 250 pixels by the editor. I read the article on formatting images but I still feel that a wider pixel width can be justified by the amount of information in the locomotive infobox and the small overall size of the article. With a wider picture the infobox uses fewer lines since fewer entries overflow into a next line.

3. I use the gallery to illustrate the various liveries that the locomotive type is/was painted in.

Please take a look at it now. Comments are welcome since I'm new at this.
