|PSP SA=yes
I removed |PSP SA=yes which has nothing to do with rail transport, but should any country be mentioned here at all?--Dthomsen8 (talk) 16:30, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

"Hund"
"The miners called the wagons Hunde ("dogs") from the noise they made on the tracks.[10]" - more or less nonsense. First, the common name for a mining cart is "Hunt" with T. Second, the connection with dogs only comes from Agricola which is doubted. Third, several alternative and more convincing explanations are given including old measures an a Slovacian word meaning waggon. See also German entry at de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunt — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.71.27.233 (talk) 08:03, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
 * What's the source book for this? Lewis' Early wooden railways? It's pretty rare and expensive – I don't have one – but that covers "hunde" fairly well. They were even called that in South Wales. Andy Dingley (talk) 17:51, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

Train avatar added to article
I put a train avatar on the page in hopes it will be the hover image of Rail transport links. Have there been any discussions of WikiProject:Trains primary topic and flagship articles? Greetings Paptilian (talk) 17:31, 13 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks, but I've removed it.
 * It's weird. Literally. We don't have these on other pages, so having one here, all on its own, is unusual, unexpected and confusing.
 * It's not even linked to anything. Just what is an "avatar" for?
 * Aren't we winding back all the WP:PORTALS stuff anyway?
 * If there was a trains portal, we might use something like this. But we already have one, it goes somewhere when you click it, and we (broadly) seem to be reducing these rather than expanding them. Andy Dingley (talk) 17:45, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you Andy, I agree, and so you know i want to help in the category dept for the WikiProject Trains, is anyone interested in helping me be conducive with the project? Paptilian (talk) 15:46, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

Files enlarged but footers still don't show

 * Where are the footers? Peter Horn User talk 13:52, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

New 8 meter vagon width standard in honor of infinity
