Works 2144[edit]

There is clear evidence from Sandstone Esates that 2144 was shipped to the United States from the recovery of equipment at Sena Estates, but I can't find where. Can anyone help? Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 11:06, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Chilectra[edit]

There is a web page here which suggests there was a Peckett shipped to Chilectra in Chile. Can't find any records or other sources, anyone help? Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 11:06, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

w/n 1710 was built for S. Pearson to work a dock construction contract in Vaplaraiso, its was most likely this one that belonged to the Chilean Electric Tramway and Light Company (chilectra) after the contracted ended and was likely bought by them

Barrow Hill 2471 "Henry"[edit]

As well as 2000, there is good evidence of a second Peckett in residence at Barrow Hill, labelled 2471 and named "Henry." Except, its can't be works number 2471 (too high a number; looks about a 1900s loco). Picture of it here. What are its details, can anyone help? Thank You!

Oldest surviving Fox Walker / Peckett?[edit]

The text refers to "Karlskoga" as the oldest surviving loco but no works number or build date is given in the text or list. Does anyone know the provenance of this locomotive? The oldest surviving loco in the list appears to be '223' with no date or '242' which seems to have the best provenance?

Reformat image placement?[edit]

I suggest reformatting the image placement within the table to be similar to List of preserved Hunslet Austerity 0-6-0ST locomotives. The change is that instead of the images being in their own column (most rows of which are empty) they instead floated within the "text notes" column. This avoids wasting width when there's no image, but it's still readable when there is an image.

Separately I would also suggest expanding the images to 200px (or at least 150px) from the current 100px. Andy Dingley (talk) 18:00, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Search box[edit]

Is it possible to add a search box to this article to enable a list search by works number? palmiped^Talk 14:57, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
