[edit] Streamlined Steam Locos
Are Mallard and co. streamliners or streamlined steam locomotives? Would an article on streamlined steam locomotives be appropriate?
- Well, first of all, I think the term streamliner fits not only for trains or bicycles. Streamlined motorbikes are called streamliners, too. Also streamlined busses were called streamliners. In railway terms, streamliners are streamlined trains. Streamlined steam locomotives mostly hauled non streamlined trains, so I think, there should be a separate article for streamlined steam locomotives. I just know of only two streamlined steam locomotives that hauled streamlined trains: The Henschel-Wegmann train and the LBE train. Ironmani 23:36, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
- I've added sections for cars and trailers per the definition however, I don't think they really fit here. However, I couldn't find a better location to show the breadth of this design concept. I've also added an external link to show the Bonair Oxygen (very rare as the company went bankrupt or something). I would be appreciative of the information being moved to a better general Streamline design article rather than it just being deleted from this article should it not fit. ````AlbertaSunwpata
