Talk:Two-foot-gauge railways in South Africa

Is the Sheba Tramway built with two foot rail gauge?
I found several pages concerning the Sheba Tramway. Although there is no confirmation of the rail gauge, photographs indicate a two foot gauge track. Can anyone clarify this?

The links: Aaron-Tripel (talk)
 * Photo could indicate a two foot rail gauge
 * Mentions the tramway
 * mentions financial details about tramway
 * Tram accident at Sheba Mine


 * The second image on the last link lists the branch as being 2ft 6in. "A loco laying a power cable. The tramway was unique in that it was one of only five two-feet-six-inch gauge lines in South Africa." -- Firefishy (talk) 11:16, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I have a copy of Industrial Railway Record (IRC) June 1982 (No. 93) which has an article 'The Sheba Tramway by K.P. Plant'. The article says 2ft 6in gauge. Happy to forward a copy of the article on request. -- Firefishy (talk) 11:35, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Two-foot-gauge railways in South Africa
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Two-foot-gauge railways in South Africa's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Paxton-Bourne": From South African Class NG8 4-6-0:  From CGR NG 4-6-2T 1908:  From CGR Type C 0-4-0T:  From South African Class NG G14 2-6-2+2-6-2:  From CGR Type A 2-6-4T:  From South African Class NG3 4-6-2T:  From South African NG 0-4-0T 1899:  From South African Class NG9 4-6-0: </li> <li>From South African Class NG2 0-4-2T: </li> <li>From 0-4-2: </li> <li>From 1937 in South Africa: </li> <li>From South African Class NG10 4-6-2: </li> <li>From NGR Class N 4-6-2T 1906: </li> <li>From South African Class NG1 0-4-0T: </li> <li>From South African Class NG15 2-8-2: </li> <li>From 2-6-0: </li> <li>From South African Class NG G12 2-6-2+2-6-2: </li> <li>From South African Class 91-000: </li> <li>From South African Zwillinge 0-6-0T: </li> <li>From South African Class NG G16 2-6-2+2-6-2: </li> <li>From South African Class NG6 4-4-0: </li> <li>From South African Class NG7 2-6-0: </li> <li>From South African Class NG G16A 2-6-2+2-6-2: </li> <li>From South African Class NG G11 2-6-0+0-6-2: </li> <li>From CGR NG 0-6-0T 1903: </li> </ul>

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 10:31, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
