[edit] Article split needed...

There's an awful lot missing from this article, but it should be aiming towards a three-way split, with Seddon and Atkinson having their own articles, describing their own products and history, and then this article picking-up from the point at which the companies merged. The history can be compartmentalised accordingly.

It seems faintly absurd to me that the article is tagged as a 'steam...manufacturer' because it is this page which details Atkinsons. Also, apart from the coverage of Atkinson's steam wagons, there is scant coverage of the other (diesel) products from any period.

Please don't apply a {{sofixit}} my way, as I do not have the information (nor the time) to follow this through. I am providing an opinion to assist future editors progress this article. EdJogg (talk) 12:49, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
