The Engine House
I'm going to move some content over to the main article - thanks for the refs. Feel free to revert at any point. Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 21:39, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Moved what you added over to Severn Valley Railway as all of the locos were unsourced. As I say, feel free to revert if you do find sources for them. Whether the page should really exist as being notable is another matter. Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 21:44, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure there's any real need for that page either TBH. Whenever something enters or leaves, it has to be updated in both the Engine House and rolling stock pages which does seem a bit of a waste of time. I wouldn't propose to delete it myself, but I wouldn't mourn its passing. I'm not convinced by the need of the Severn Valley Venturer page either, especially as it hasn't run for a number of years now and its not even the main dining train which is the Severn Valley Limited which doen't have its own page. (sorry, local knowledge at work, no citation!) Robin84F (talk) 21:57, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Danners430. I noticed that you recently removed content from List of rolling stock preserved on the Severn Valley Railway without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Danners430 (talk) 17:55, 3 May 2024 (UTC)


 * If you look at the two edits I did, in each case I gave a brief explanation in the summary as to why I had made a change. The first summary was "13268 renumbered from LMS 2968". The second was "34027 withdrawn for overhaul". You will also see that in each case, I added a citation to a recent publication supporting the change. I'm not sure how much more of an explanation you think was required than that. As part of the edit I removed certain information which had become redundant, for example "Running In. Presently outshopped in LMS unlined black with its post-1935 number 2968, but later planned to be repainted into LMS Lined Black with its pre-1935 number 13268." is no longer required as the repainting has been completed. So yes, I think you made a mistake, unless you feel you have made the article better by reverting it to out of date information without checking the citations I provided.''

 * Just gone back with a fresh pair of eyes, and I agree I made a mistake there. I’ve reverted it back to the way you left it, and I can only apologise :) Danners430 (talk) 05:59, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Noted, and thanks. I should perhaps mention, I was involved in the discussion of the structure and content of rolling stock list pages back in January 2023, both in WikiProject UK Railways and Talk:List of rolling stock preserved on the Severn Valley Railway, and I have tried to make sure the SVR list follows the agreed principles since. Cheers. Robin84F (talk) 16:22, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm JoBoGamer. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, LMS Jubilee Class, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. JoBoGamer (talk) 12:26, 25 June 2024 (UTC)


 * With respect, if you read my edited version and considered it before reverting it en bloc, the status of Leander being about to be overhauled and Kolhapur having moved to Carnforth and being overhauled at a later date are both covered by the citation I included from Trackside Magazine's interview with David Smith, who I assume knows what he is talking about and could be considered a reliable source on matters there. It seems frankly stupid to revert the article to the 2023 status so that the text reads that Kolhapur is still at Tyseley and Leander is still in ticket, when both the article I quoted and the table below had already been updated to reflect the 2024 developments. So yes, I think you made a mistake, unless you feel you have made the article better by reverting it to out of date information without checking the citation I provided.
