==Day Out with Thomas==
Since the SR V Class survived into preservation, can one Class disguise as Vernon for Day out with Thomas? [[User:FelixCheng|Felix]] 20:28, 18 July 2006
== GA review comments ==
So far, it's not quite there, here's the checklist with my comments following:
:'''[[Wikipedia:Good article candidates|GA]] review''' (see [[Wikipedia:What is a good article?|here]] for criteria)
#It is '''reasonably well written'''.
#:a ''(prose)'': {{GAList/check|nay}} b ''([[Wikipedia:Manual of Style|MoS]])'': {{GAList/check|wtf}}
#It is '''factually accurate''' and '''[[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verifiable]]'''.
#:a ''(references)'': {{GAList/check|aye}} b ''(citations to reliable sources)'': {{GAList/check|aye}} c ''([[Wikipedia:No original research|OR]])'': {{GAList/check|aye}}
#It is '''broad in its coverage'''.
#:a ''(major aspects)'': {{GAList/check|aye}} b ''(focused)'': {{GAList/check|aye}}
#It follows the '''[[WP:NPOV|neutral point of view]] policy'''.
#:a ''(fair representation)'': {{GAList/check|aye}} b ''(all significant views)'': {{GAList/check|aye}}
#It is '''stable'''.
#:{{GAList/check|aye}}
#It '''contains [[Wikipedia:Images|images]]''', where possible, to illustrate the topic.
#:a ''(tagged and captioned)'': {{GAList/check|aye}} b ''(lack of images does not in itself exclude GA)'': {{GAList/check|aye}} c ''(non-free images have [[Wikipedia:Image description page#fair use rationale|fair use rationales]])'': {{GAList/check|aye}}
#'''Overall''':
#:a ''Pass/Fail'': {{GAList/check|wtf}}
Specific comments:
*The lead describs the locomotive as being "... regarded as the most powerful class ...". This is not mentioned in the article, and [[WP:LEAD]] suggests that "Significant information should not appear in the lead if it is not covered in the remainder of the article."
*Some issues with the prose, I've fixed a couple of things, but here are a couple more points:
**" ...saved from the cutter's torch... " - not particularly neutrally phrased.
**"The locomotives were designed by Richard Maunsell, and was heavily influenced ..." needs fixing.
**"...outshopped ..." - still not clear to the non-expert reader what this means.
More to follow but I'm putting the review on hold in the meantime. [[User:The Rambling Man|The Rambling Man]] 07:32, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
*"Livery and numbering" section contain four short paragraphs, could be made into two longer paragraphs quite easily which would improve the prose.
*"Remaining artefacts of other class members" should either be a section heading or made into prose to introduce the list.
*Perhaps expand NYMR before using it the first time.
*"uppingham" should be "Uppingham" no doubt.
That's all I have right now. Let me know if you'd like to re-review in the future. [[User:The Rambling Man|The Rambling Man]] 09:17, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
::Thanks for dealing with my issues so expediently, I'm promoting to GA now. [[User:The Rambling Man|The Rambling Man]] 16:53, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

== Regarding the addition of stock/locomotive lists section in articles. ==
In order to keep railway locomotive articles tidy, it has been necessary to create a seperate 'appendix' page to display information such as class details, names, preservation locations for named locomotives only. As this was achieved through a successful campaign to prevent a similar page from being deleted from the WC/BB classes, and will ensure that this page may be put up for FA status at a later stage, could any editors contemplating the duplication of this information consider how this might affect the articles chances of improvement in the future.

== A trainspotter's observation... ==
About the wheelspin: one afternoon during the summer of 1955 while my best friend Martin and I aged 11 were trainspotting at Sevenoaks station on Southern Region, "Sevenoaks," 30935 came in, en route from Charing Cross to the coast, Hastings or Dover. We'd seen many other Schools class locos come in and out but this was the first and only time we saw 'ours,' (Sevenoaks) and knew from experience they almost always wheelslipped, and we cautioned the driver accordingly. As the train pulled out slowly and smoothly he turned back to us bellowing "Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!" whereupon the engine went into the most massive wheelspin we'd ever seen; simultaneously we shouted "Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!" back.

<small>The above was added to the article today, then removed here. Thoroughly unencyclopaedic, but far too good to waste... [[User:EdJogg|EdJogg]] ([[User talk:EdJogg|talk]]) 22:22, 6 July 2009 (UTC) </small>

== Begs the question ==
Why did #925 ''Cheltenham'' appear on the [[Swanage Railway]] in 2015 before T3 563 appeared from 2023 onwards? [[Special:Contributions/2603:7000:6E3B:9266:FD95:1652:95C8:F401|2603:7000:6E3B:9266:FD95:1652:95C8:F401]] ([[User talk:2603:7000:6E3B:9266:FD95:1652:95C8:F401|talk]]) 23:23, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
:I suspect, based on your question, that you found one of our over 6.8 million articles and thought we were affiliated in some way with that subject.

::What? But I thought both #925 and #563 appeared on the Swanage Railway in different years and they are both Matthew-Friendly Engines!

:::Irrelevant, this article is about a particular class of engine. Discussions about other loco classes should take part on the appropriate talk page. [[User:Murgatroyd49|Murgatroyd49]] ([[User talk:Murgatroyd49|talk]]) 15:58, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
::::Oh wait, #925 only visited the railway during the spring gala in 2015! [[Special:Contributions/2603:7000:6E3B:9266:A8FB:33F4:B850:5327|2603:7000:6E3B:9266:A8FB:33F4:B850:5327]] ([[User talk:2603:7000:6E3B:9266:A8FB:33F4:B850:5327|talk]]) 21:15, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

A model of the loco has been added to ''[[Trainz]] Simulator 3'' for mobile! [[Special:Contributions/2603:7000:6E3B:9266:585B:C9F9:FBBC:B9B9|2603:7000:6E3B:9266:585B:C9F9:FBBC:B9B9]] ([[User talk:2603:7000:6E3B:9266:585B:C9F9:FBBC:B9B9|talk]]) 00:41, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
