@Trooper201: Twitter is not a reliable source. It fails WP:SPS, for one thing. --Redrose64 (talk) 19:29, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I@Redrose64: Yes I know that but It does state the next new build proposed by the A1 steam locomotive trust are planning to build a replica of that engine, make sure you can confirm this sometime, Trooper201 (talk) 04:07, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It is not my responsibility to "confirm it", see WP:BURDEN. There are lots of "plans" to build replica locos - so many in fact that given the current economic situation, I am seriously at a loss to know where the money is to come from for all of them. Most such schemes will never get off the ground, so these "proposals" amount to no more than pipe-dreams and crystal-ball gazing. So until they have carried out some seriously major work - like setting up the main frames (and not just cutting them out), casting the cylinders and wheels, and building a boiler - this remains wishful thinking and not notable. --Redrose64 (talk) 07:33, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's been confirmed and I have also placed in scoure and it's confirmed "J38 1416". Retrieved 8 March 2018. for more details. Trooper201 (talk) 11:26, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Trooper201: The full text of the relevant entry in that source is:

J38 1416
It has been announced that the A1 Steam Locomotive Trust’s next project will be a J38 0-6-0. However, the details of the announcement – specifically, that the project was to be funded by a legacy from Mr Joseph Kuhr of Aprilscherz in Germany – will have caused cautious readers to check its date – April 1st.

See April Fools' Day - if you can read German, notice that the benefactor is "of Aprilscherz in Germany" then check out de:Aprilscherz. This "project" should therefore be treated as a hoax until a reliable source can be found. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 14:53, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
