[edit] Locomotive name links
What is the standard practice for linking the names of locomotives? In the case here, I set up a link to an article about the locomotive named Sir Nigel Gresley (there isn't one yet, but there are for two other members of the class, Mallard and Union of South Africa see LNER Class A4), rather than the article about the person. The link on the loco named George Stephenson does the opposite and links to the article about the person. Thryduulf 23:40, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- I don't think there is one (yet). I put a link to the locomotive if there is one, or if there is a precedent for one (i.e. there seems to be a page link for all preserved A4s planned). If not I put a link to what the name is. For example it might not be immediately apparent what the name means in the case of 50027 "Lion", which is named after the warship(s) "HMS Lion" as opposed to the animal.

[edit] Is the list of locomotives complete?
This loco has number 45407, as you can see in the picture. But I can't see that number on your list. Is the list complete and up-to-date? Or am I just being very stupid in not undertanding how the numbering system works? — P Ingerson (talk) 01:03, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- The list may not be completely up to date - check the NYMR website. LMS Black Five Class no. 45407 is based on the East Lancashire Railway, but it is registered for the main line meaning it works various railtours throughout the year. It is probable that 45407 was visiting the NYMR for a special event. Our Phellap 12:24, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Infobox, commercial operations name field
What should go here? LNER seems a bit random. Obviously the line has had several commercial operators through history. The Whitby and Pickering Railway built it, and it was last commercially run by British rail. One of these would make most sense to me, but there are also the YNMR, NER and LNER in between. I've asked over at the template talk page to gauge opinions over there also.
