Talk:SR USA class

No more Thomas the Tank Engine references, please.

Please do not place any further Thomas the Tank engine information on this article, as there is already enough information on that page, which one can reach via the link in this article. Please keep Wikipedia tidy! Cheers. --Bulleid Pacific 17:29, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

user:Prellbock18's excellent contributions versus admin competence

Thanks to user:Prellbock18's addition of the stock list to this article. Its removal, with the given reason that there are two stock lists, is unfortunate. It doesn't reflect reality - there is only one stock list in the article, not two. Tony May (talk) 05:39, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

@Tony May: Here is the article after your last revert. Check the table of contents: it has the entry "Stock list" twice, at positions 6 and 7. Try the first one, you are taken to a heading below which is some text. Below that you will see the same heading and that text a second time; in between these there is a table. Now go to the bottom of the article, and there is the same table again; it appears there and not in its proper place because you did not supply the |} marker to terminate the table.

Therefore, there were two copies of the same table, and we do not need both. The preview feature was provided for a reason: please use it instead of blindly reverting. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 10:31, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

No. It appears once. Whatever you are looking at is entirely your imagination. Tony May (talk) 14:27, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

This is the diff of what you included, with the duplicated table. --David Biddulph (talk) 16:12, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

Actual reason USA class began at Southampton Docks

hey any thomas and friends references given about the SR usa class tanks replacing LBSCR E2's at SouthHampton docks is actually accurate do to the E2 class were having steaming and other mechanical faults this what's known in railway circles as a major failure and that's why the USA class were brought in it wasn't to replace the LSWR B4 tanks as they had already been replaced by the LBSCR E2 tanks 155.94.102.106 (talk) 09:39, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

Little correction to reason usa class started shunting at Southampton docks

lbscr e2's had been working at Southampton docks for somewhere in the range of 10 to 20 years and yes Southampton was still using some lswr b4 tanks do to the e2 tank's mechanical issues 155.94.102.106 (talk) 09:56, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

Merger proposal

Merger proposal with USATC S100 Class

I see nothing in particular about the history of the locomotive that requires it to have a separate Wikipedia article detailing its history on the Southern Railway. It is the same locomotive regardless, and the main S100 article seems like a better place to host information on the engine. Xboxtravis7992 (talk) 02:04, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

I would say they are significant enough to be different articles as the Southern Railway modified them for the Southern Railway so they were no longer to the same standard as the S100 Class. Also there is other examples similar to the SR USA Class and the USTAC S100 Class, for example the LNER J94s and the Hunslet Austerity 0-6-0t which are both considered different enough to justify there own sets of articles.

If we're to merge the SR USA Class article with the USATC S100 Article, then I think the same should apply to the other wikipedia articles about the other locomotive classes around the world derived from the S100s. 100.36.231.16 (talk) 10:37, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Examples please? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 16:31, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
