I feel that this article is much too short to encompass Stephens' railways - and him too! - and it is also inaccurate in giving the impression that they were all one amorphous whole. That is far from the truth: they were scattered and existed like that - even though they were under the same umbrella at Tonbridge. It is also untrue to say that they all excaped grouping: three of them had been part of some of the major railways - look at the Paddock Wood line on the website, for example.
I am about to alter this so that the article will be entitled Colonel Stephens and his Railways so that his biography can be included in the article: the present biography (for some unknown reason relocated to Holman Fred Stephens from Colonel H.F. Stephens needs destubbing anyway and can be easily done by using the said website. Peter Shearan 12:27, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I think I have done what I can to fill out this article: I am not too sure whether some of the really minor lines need a separate article, since they are fairly comprehensively described on the website. If however ther is more information, such articles may well follow! Peter Shearan 14:39, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Check gauge please
North Devon and Cornwall Junction Light Railway (1925-1982): originally a 3 ft (762 mm)
- 3' 0' = 914mm
- 2' 6" = 762mm
Which is it?
