British locomotive history
Welcome to Wikipedia!

You recently posted here a fascinating explanation about the use of mechanical tap changers in British railroads. I would like to incorporate your information into the main article and would appreciate, if possible, a bit more history about these models of locomotives. What years were the various models manufactured and used, for example?

Also, we here at Wikipedia are very much concerned with verifiability &mdash; we much prefer to base all information in the articles on published sources. With that in mind, could you perhaps identify a source or sources, preferably published books or journal articles, which might discuss the history of British locomotives and the use of various electrical switching systems?

Thank you. --Eliyahu S Talk 22:10, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
