[edit] Locomotive name links
What is the standard practice for linking the names of locomotives? In the case here, I set up a link to an article about the locomotive named Sir Nigel Gresley (there isn't one yet, but there are for two other members of the class, Mallard and Union of South Africa see LNER Class A4), rather than the article about the person. The link on the loco named George Stephenson does the opposite and links to the article about the person. Thryduulf 23:40, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- I don't think there is one (yet). I put a link to the locomotive if there is one, or if there is a precedent for one (i.e. there seems to be a page link for all preserved A4s planned). If not I put a link to what the name is. For example it might not be immediately apparent what the name means in the case of 50027 "Lion", which is named after the warship(s) "HMS Lion" as opposed to the animal.

[edit] Is the list of locomotives complete?
This loco has number 45407, as you can see in the picture. But I can't see that number on your list. Is the list complete and up-to-date? Or am I just being very stupid in not undertanding how the numbering system works? — P Ingerson (talk) 01:03, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- The list may not be completely up to date - check the NYMR website. LMS Black Five Class no. 45407 is based on the East Lancashire Railway, but it is registered for the main line meaning it works various railtours throughout the year. It is probable that 45407 was visiting the NYMR for a special event. Our Phellap 12:24, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*45407 is only at the NYMR for usually only 2-3 months max and runs the whitby services. wayside007 2:41, 1 Jan 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Infobox, commercial operations name field
What should go here? LNER seems a bit random. Obviously the line has had several commercial operators through history. The Whitby and Pickering Railway built it, and it was last commercially run by British rail. One of these would make most sense to me, but there are also the YNMR, NER and LNER in between. I've asked over at the template talk page to gauge opinions over there also.
- The NER was the 'commercial' operator for the longest time (69 years, 1854 - 1923), which dwarfs the LNER (25 years) or BR (17 years), or even the W&P (9 years) and the Y&NM (9 years). The only operator that comes anyway near is the NYMR itself (34 years) - but they are not 'commercial'. XTOV (talk) 15:22, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Reformating the Steam Loco table
Recently 88.105.159.185 made a series of eight edits to the Steam Loco table; he/she appears to think it is better as a bulletted list and separated into sections for locos from the big four (and their predecessors), BR and 'others'. I have no strong feelings for or against a format change but these changes were poorly executed, for example leaving traces of the previous table formatting and ommitting spaces between some words. In consequence I have reverted all eight edits to return to the previous format plus I have updated the information in line with the NYMR magazine I recieved this morning.
If 88.105.159.185 still wishes to change the format of this table, may I suggest:
- He/She registers for a Wikipedia user account, so that future edits are not anonymous.
- Ensures that the revised format is carefully checked before saving it to avoid the careless errors made previously.
- Takes the trouble to apply his/her new format to all motive power tables, not just the steam one.
- Tries to avoid multiple serial edits, presumably to correct errors or oversights - that's what 'Show Preview' is for.
and finally
- If he/she is not willing to go to all these lengths - do not attempt it in the first place.

[edit] Gala's
Should we have a special section about the numerous galas held throughout the year at the NYMR? Britishrailclass91 (talk) 09:07, 27 April 2008 (UTC) Sorry, Ignore that, I have spotted the special events section Britishrailclass91 (talk) 17:56, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] New Front Page Pic
I have replaced the picture on the infobox, as I believe it to show more aspects of the railway, please feel free to delete the image from the inforbox if needed! Britishrailclass91 (talk) 15:33, 29 April 2008 (UTC). Ignore that last comment, I have decided against it. But can someone please upload: 
Into the wikimedia commons. Britishrailclass91 (talk) 15:39, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Repton
I have added that Repton has had a wheelset removed, as on my last visit to the nymr, repton was without wheels, do not revert thiss change! Britishrailclass91 (talk) 17:19, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
