Review: November 15, 2006.

Images[edit]

I added an image of PRR #317, a class D6 locomotive of 1881. This is a good example of a later, high-drivered express 4-4-0, but we should also have some pictures of earlier locomotives to round things out. —Morven 08:00, Nov 9, 2004 (UTC)

Done. An 1873 Mason locomotive with very classic lines. —Morven 00:31, Nov 10, 2004 (UTC)

In a book I have, there are a couple of photos (PD-old) of a 1865 Peto, Brassey & Betts/Canada Works, Birkenhead (UK?), and a 1875 Sigl (Austria)- would these be of use in this article, to lessen US-centricity? --Janke | Talk 20:44, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

UK designs[edit]

I added a section about schools class locomotives. the article is plainly lacking any information about UK, or presumably other countries 440 locomotives. I am not at all hung up about the details of how this is arranged, but the article has a big gaping hole in what it does not cover if it claims to be about all 440 engines.

Indeed, and that is one of the tasks in the to do list shown above on this page. Thanks for helping out with it! Slambo (Speak) 11:35, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't the Whyte system a US system anyway? It seems very odd not to see the common name for the 4-4-0 i.e. "American"; and similarly for the other types like Moguls, Pacifics, Atlantics, etc. I'm not sure how to resolve this. Tmangray (talk) 18:32, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
