Talk:BR Caprotti Black Fives

Wording
In the sentence


 * The boiler was pitched 2 inches higher than previously and the running plate was also lower, necessitating the use of splashers over the wheels.

The use of 'also' is confusing. Is 'higher' incorrect for the boiler? 'Also' seems to indicate that both should be the same. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 22:13, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Merge of LMS Stanier Class 5 4-6-0 44686/7
Merge, as both cover much the same ground and a single article would explain this better.

Also rename to something like 'BR Caprotti Black Fives', as at Commons. They're not LMS, they're not Stanier and using the numbers as the distinguishing feature is unclear to those not recognising this obscure and basically unimportant detail.

There's also BR Standard Class 5 73129, which is a synecdoche for the 30 Caprotti-fitted Standard Class 5s. Although I'd see those as sufficiently distinct to stand alone, but others might disagree?
