Putt-putt

[edit]

There needs to be a disambiguation page so when someone searches for "putt-putt" they can find this page. I'd add it myself but I don't know how. 72.208.61.246 (talk) 01:42, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Velocity?

[edit]

Watched Buster Keaton's "The Railrodder" the other night, which led me here. Great little article but... how fast can one of these go? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.207.240.4 (talk) 13:39, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rubber Tired Motor Velocipede, as used by the NZR in the late 1970's early 1980's.

[edit]

Hi .. Love the fact the most of Wikipedia is written by people with little to no real railway knowledge, outside of Europe or the USA.. Here's a link to a restored 9now privately owned) ex-NZR Motor Velocipede, that used rubber/pneumatic tires.

Cheers. YOUR OLD (WELL VERSED AND OFTEN) OUTSPOKEN EX-NZR EMPLOYE (with well over 10+ years working knowledge of the NZR), who actually knows a LOT MORE than your stifling admin will ever admit too.!!!.

Requested move 3 October 2018

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Moved: Speeder (disambiguation)Speeder; SpeedersSpeeders (TV program); SpeederRailroad speeder.
There is consensus that railroad car is not the primary topic for "Speeder", but I'm going to override the proposed target from Speeder (railroad) to Railroad speeder per WP:THREEOUTCOMES as 1) Natural disambiguation 2) Attested in books 3) "Speeder" is not really a type of "railroad" so the proposed title may be misleading. Obviously, that is not backed by consensus, and there are several alternative titles as suggested by In ictu oculi (redirects now created), so a new RM can be run to test them.

– This word should be a WP:PRIMARYDIS as there is no primary topic. According to the dictionary, a primary definition of "speeder" is "a driver who exceeds the legal speed limit", meaning that there is another potential topic to disambiguate. I would also merge Speeders (Star Wars) into the disambiguation page as well. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 17:15, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative name.

I have a postcard from 1918 referring to one of these cars as a “gasolineopede”. 67.22.9.91 (talk) 02:10, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wickham

[edit]

The linked Wickham trolley article seems to indicate that D Wickham & Co Ltd was a British company so it probably ought not to be listed under “Canada”. Mr Larrington (talk) 11:41, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
