Talk:Locomotives of the North Eastern Railway

Darlington Works

The NER took over the Stockton and Darlington Railway in 1863 but locomotives continued to be built to SDR designs at Darlington Works until 1873.[1] Should these be shown here or at Locomotives of the Stockton and Darlington Railway? Roberttherambler (talk) 15:31, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

NER numbering

We lack information on numbering of NER locos. Can anyone help? Roberttherambler (talk) 23:02, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

@Sirdouglas1994: See Help:Referencing for beginners. But apart from that, why should a list of individual N&C locomotives be included? We don't provide that level of detail for, say, the Fletcher locomotives. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 13:34, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

@redrose64 what about the individual list of other constituant locos right above my N&C? Sirdouglas1994 (talk) 11:34, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

If anything, that is worse and deserves to be removed even more strongly. There is much uncertainty and vagueness, such as: 170 or 171; question marks in column 2; 1847/48; 129 class (or 76 class). Such things would indicate guesswork, were it not for the fact that each entry is referenced, mostly to SteamIndex. Now SteamIndex is a tertiary source; where do they get their information from? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:56, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
