GWR Autocoach
Hi; I've looked at your to GWR Autocoach; and have made. First, when giving sources in the article body we place them inside a  pair; this way, when the article is displayed, the source comes up near the bottom (under "References" in this case). Next, the "Further reading" section is for recommended publications that do not appear elsewhere in the article and were not used to verify article content. Accordingly, I've combined it into your text where that publication was mentioned in the article text, and formatted it as a reference. Also, in references we don't state the total number of pages in the book, but the individual page numbers upon which the information appears. Finally, I've removed the text "although variants of this class including '517' and '48xx' (often renumbered from 14xx) make valid alternatives for the historical modeller." because the 517 class was a different class entirely, not a variant; and the 48xx was the same class as the 14xx - the locos were built as 4800-4874, and renumbered to 1400-1474 between October and December 1946. The autocoaches were used with several classes, not just the 0-4-2T classes, so I've re-joined the paragraph where the 54xx and 64xx classes are mentioned. Thanks. -- Red rose64 (talk) 17:46, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
