Talk:List of early British private locomotive manufacturers

It is simply a list, no more, to complement the other two lists. It is, in effect a rgister of articles on this subject that are conatained in Wikipedia.

The source is quoted at the bottom of the page.

It irritates me no end that that there are those who wont take the trouble to research original material but spend their time picking holes in other people's work.

 * Nobody has justified the Cleanup box so I have removed it. Biscuittin 21:22, 2 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for that. I dont normally mind people amending my articles. Generally they make improvements. This caught me on the wrong side, I must admit. However it contained no justification or suggestions I could see. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Chevin (talk • contribs) 06:45, 3 May 2007 (UTC).

Lilleshall Company
This list gives the Lilleshall Company as closing in 1900, but they are [| on record] as building a triple expansion engine for a waterworks in Essex in 1927. --Brunnian (talk) 22:31, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Have edited this for last steam engine. However it seems a bit pointless to list it without a corresponding article. Chevin (talk) 08:18, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Table suggestion
I'm trying to find a builder called Carrett, Marshall & Company, who built the first locomotive to run in South Africa, the Natal Railway's Natal. And I have a suggestion. This list will be much more useful in sortable table format - Year, Firm, Location, Fate (taken over by, defunct, successor, etc), Notes.... André Kritzinger 13:01, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Are you using a Windows browser. Why not use . The table was deliberately arranged in order of antiquity. Carrett, Marshall and Companny is listed in Lowe. They were known more for steam road vehicles. Very little is known about their steam loconmotives. Some were built for the Kendal and Windermere Railway, but Lowe mentions NATAL as being built in 1860 Chevin (talk) 20:29, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
