[edit] "Terrible Image Placement"

The previous version that user:Duncharris has reverted to has a huge gap between the 'overview' and the rest of the text, a direct cause of the image placement here. Also, since the b+w photos were uploaded, a number of better quality and more relevent images have been uploaded on separate locomotive pages. My revision includes the Portal Trains featured picture, which is far more illustrative than the grainy b+w images, and sorts out a number of formatting errors they created. The photographs with large captions serve a better purpose in the gallery format used on other pages. If it is the Thomas the Tank engine picture that is bothering you, you can always remove that...Rob 16:13, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes they are terrible. Where possible use historical photographs. Preserved engines often have things wrong with them. And in this case that is certainly true. Also, books should be referenced are Yeadon's Register and the like, good quality books not "guide to steam trains for dummies". — Dunc|☺ 13:24, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

"Where possible" - that"s wishful thinking! Any relevant historical photograph usually runs up against copyright problems (are these sometimes more imaginary than real?) and get removed by the "busybots" in no time at all.--John of Paris (talk) 10:43, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
