Talk:List of 7-foot gauge railway locomotive names

Notability
I don't find this notable, could you please state why it is worthy of noting? --Parker007 22:35, 5 March 2007 (UTC) nvm other user found it notable. --Parker007 22:44, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

The implicit question this article raises and then ignores is— "are the names of broad guage locomotives in any way disctinctive, compared with other locomotive names?" If the answer is yes then the article needs to say so and cite external sources to support it; if the answer is no then it's really doubtful whether the article should exist at all, unless a putative list of locomotive names page got too long and needed to be split up (but even so, the discussion on themes would belong on the master page, not the sub-page).

River Yeo
Regarding : the problem here is that the locomotive concerned was owned by the North Devon Railway which ran along (or close by) the valleys of several rivers, three of which (all different) were named Yeo. It is of course possible that the loco was named after all of them collectively. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 16:56, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
