Joy, Dutton & Gas
Hi Sean, thank you for that lightning-fast rating of CGR 4th Class 4-6-0TT Joy 1882. Two more new articles which I'm rather chuffed about since I tackled them with some trepidation, are South African Dutton road-rail tractors and South African gas-electric locomotive, if you feel like taking a peek at something slightly different. Mooiloop! -- André Kritzinger (talk) 11:58, 10 May 2016 (UTC)


 * I've got a little time right now before I head out for work so I'll take a look at those. As to assessment speed, this article happened to be sorted at the top of the unassessed list when I logged in today to update the DYK portion of the Trains portal (I've been a bit busy with work the last couple weeks; normally I make DYK updates daily).

 * Also, before I forget, when I'm adding articles to the DYK entries, I usually don't have time to do a thorough review of each article to see how closely they meet the B-Class criteria, so I'll usually set them to C class to signify that they are better than start class. Many of the articles that you've worked on in this series probably would qualify for B class upon closer examination. Slambo (Speak)  12:26, 10 May 2016 (UTC)


 * I know, and thanks, you're about the only one who even bothers with rating locos. Right now I'm in the middle of revising every single one of the SA loco articles to add the hordes of additional info from a series of SAR articles by Espitalier/Day from the mid-1940s, and also to adapt them to the revised Template:Infobox locomotive, my fiddling with which, I'm happy to have found, upset no other articles. I started on 1 January with about 350 to do, still about 50 to go, and then new stuff like tenders and the Duttons et al crop up in between. Keeps me out of trouble, 14 hours a day... -- André Kritzinger (talk) 13:19, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
