Talk:SR Q1 class

No more Thomas the Tank Engine references, please.
Please do not place any further Thomas the Tank engine information on this article, as there is already enough information on that page, which one can reach via the link in this article. Please keep Wikipedia tidy! Cheers. --Bulleid Pacific 13:55, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Nickname: Charlies?
The following (in italics) was added to the page today:
 * All these locomotives therefore carried numbers which started "C" followed by the individual identifier from C1 to C40. This is, reputedly, why they were referred to as "Charlies".

with the edit summary:
 * Added suggestion for engines being now as 'Charlies', based on modeller's hearsay.

Since this is a GA it's not wise to add such comments, 'hearsay' is not a Reliable Source, and anyway 'Charlies' is already present with a tag in the lede. Anyone got a definite reference for the name 'Charlies' yet? -- EdJogg (talk) 13:23, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

GA review and accuracy
This article has just been used in one of the preserved steam communities to ridicule WP in general over the factual inaccuracy of WP's articles. Nothing unusual there, but this one is also a GA. Boiler dimensions are missing and those that are here are both uncited, not credible and stated to be simply wrong. Does anyone have good SR sources to work on improving this?

In fiction
The class became the basis for Neville the Q1 for Thomas and Friends carrying the number 33010, which was worn by a real Q1 that was scrapped in 1964. 77.234.64.84 (talk) 13:38, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
