Talk:Beyer, Peacock and Company

BP v BP/Metrovick Joint Venture
Just wondering if there is a need to have two pages with the same. BP was its own company, whislt the Stockton-on-Tees project was a joint venture with MV - suggesting two separate companies

there is already a page on the MV/BP joint venture Bowesfield_WorksSulzer55 (talk) 09:12, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

What happened in 1966?
Did the company go bust? Was it taken over? What happened to all its assets? Was there an attempt to sell it to another firm? I'd love to know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.78.167.235 (talk) 12:33, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Class 17 diesel omitted?
Hi, I was just wondering why the Class 17 diesel preserved at the Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway isn't listed in the preserved diesels section? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Resinguy (talk • contribs) 00:11, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Massively inaccurate
I suspect this was written by some know-it-all railway enthusiasts who didn't feel the need to check facts. Beyer Peacock stayed in profitable business long after 1966, even though it had stopped making locomotives. A Saudi Arabian company bought it in 1976. 218.250.45.167 (talk) 03:10, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

Missing locomotives/classes: 1882 4-4-0T "SAMSON", Rockingham Jarrah Timber Co., Jarrahdale
I am new to Wikipedia and am not yet confident with editing articles to add missing information, nor am I certain whether a run of two locomotives delivered to a logging company near Perth, Western Australia counts as a "class" nor whether my primary source is adequate. Hence adding this topic to the talk page for advice from more experienced wiki editors.

The main source for this information is from an Australian historical society that focusses on documenting historical light railways who published this PDF about the Jarrahdale logging industry's locomotives in the late 1800s which were sadly not preserved. While the main focus of this document (the locomotive 'Pioneer') is irrelevant as it was built in Ballarat, the two that follow, both named SAMSON, are BP&C built and quite unique and may be worth including despite me being unable to find much information besides historical photographs and sources such as this and occasional scattered mentions in period news clippings on the aussie archive site TROVE.
