Today's DYK
Hi, re - the Webb Coal Tanks weren't perpetuated after 1923, construction having ceased in 1897; and it's also incorrect to imply that the GWR 5600 class was "perpetuated" after 1923, the type being introduced in 1924. -- Red rose64 (talk) 16:30, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the clarification. The text in the DYK was my interpretation of the text from the article, so maybe that could use a little attention too. I'm a little busy this evening, so if you want to go ahead and adjust the entry, don't forget to update the archive page too. Otherwise, I can update it when I go to add tomorrow's entry early tomorrow morning. Slambo (Speak) 22:49, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

RR Route Templates
I put this on the railroad maps group discussion page but then read a note that the page seems not to be read often so I sending it to a few group participents in the hope of getting some advice.

Thanks

I have added more info to the Green Bay and Western page to the point where it needs a route diagram. I have the info to do this but no matter how many times I read the route diagram template page I just don't get it. Is there a "Templates for Dummies" page - oops I am sure use of "for Dummies" is a copyright violation!. But I need a real simple how to guide. Please reply on my talk page. Alternatly I can list the info for someone else to do it. But would really like to be able to do this. Years ago it seemed to be easier to cut, paste and edit something someone else had done - that does not seem to work now. --Wickifrank (talk) 13:19, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
