Talk:Tulk and Ley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am planning to write a separate article for Fletcher Jennings. Biscuittin 21:36, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Fletcher, Jennings section moved to Fletcher, Jennings & Co. I think this is appropriate because F-J is the better-known name and there are F-J locomotives preserved. Biscuittin 20:05, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Crampton locomotives

There is some disagreement between the text and the table. I believe the table is correct but I have left the text as it is, pending further research. If anybody has more information, please add it. Biscuittin 11:06, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Works Numbers 17 on=

According to Lowe number 17 was built in 1850, not delivered till 1854. Then no more till 1855 numbers 18, 19 and (poss a rebuild) 20 Chevin 16:17, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you Chevin. There has also been speculation that No.17 was built in 1847 (with nos. 13-16) and not sold till 1854. Sharman is sceptical about this because of detail differences between the locomotives. After the collapse of Railway mania in the 1840s there may have been a slump in the demand for locomotives so perhaps Tulk and Ley decided to switch to other work. We will probably never know for sure. Biscuittin (talk) 10:13, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
