[edit] Rating class
I had originally put NA because this is a list. Since there's some disagreement, I've now put it at Start class. Please review the quality rating scale and reassess as needed. Slambo (Speak) 11:18, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Scope of article
Why limit this to only narrow gauge industrial railways? Weren't there quite a number of standard gauge ones. I can think of a standard gauge ironstone IR near Charwelton in Northants for example. I'm sure there must have been more. G-Man * 03:40, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- There were hundreds if not thousands of standard gauge industrial railways in the UK. If anyone wants to create a separate article on them, that would be great. The reason for keeping the narrow gauge lines listed separately is first to keep the article to a reasonable size and second because narrow gauge railways tended to be of a very different character from the standard gauge ones so this is really a different subject.

[edit] British military narrow gauge railways
Hi, I found out, inadvertently, that the British military narrow gauge railways had been split out into their own article British military narrow gauge railways, or perhaps it happened some time ago and I did not notice.
My main point however concerns ICI, ICI Nobel, Nobel Industries and all the other possibly combinations. Some Nobel sites such as Ardeer appear in the military article, on the basis of their similarity to the ROF's, and I have no objections to that; however ICI Nobel Roburite is also an explosive site, so what is the criteria for deciding which article they go into?
