Assessment request

[edit]

After copyediting the article and adding a "See also" section, I'd like someone associated with either project to assess it (I'm not qualified to do it myself). Thanks! Wi2g 15:31, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Transporter wagon

[edit]

How were wide gauge wagons loaded onto the narrow gauge Transporter wagons?

  • one at a time?
  • using a crane?
  • using a ramp?
  • could you load several transporter waggons in a row?

I know it's a long time since these questions were asked, this video has since been uploaded to youtube which may answer them. This is of the Leek & Manifold Valley Light Railway in Staffordshire, also engineered by ER Calthrop.
Did the Barsi Railway use transporter wagons? There's no mention of them in the article.

Shipping Containers

[edit]

If the Calthrop system had been more widely used, modern ISO shipping containers might be 7 feet wide instead of 8 feet wide. Tabletop (talk) 08:34, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
