Caerphilly Castle

[edit]

Many sources (including Wikipedia itself) report that it was Pendennis Castle and not Caerphilly Castle at the British Empire Exhibition, hence the two footnotes for the same piece of information. I'll be changing the other Wikipedia pages in due course. --Old Moonraker (talk) 07:03, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The truth is that both were exhibited; Caerphilly Castle in 1924, Pendennis Castle in 1925 (le Fleming, H.M. (1960) [1953]. White, D.E. (ed.). Part 8: Modern Passenger Classes. The Locomotives of the Great Western Railway (2nd ed.). Kenilworth: RCTS. p. H16.

I didn't know that. Will you be adding it and replacing the existing references?--Old Moonraker (talk) 22:23, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I think that the best place for the details of which locomotives were exhibited is on British Empire Exhibition itself, plus mentions on the various articles for the individual locomotives or classes. I've been working through these, as and when I can turn up sources. I don't think that very much should be here, to avoid unnecessary duplication (it's not really relevant to this station); perhaps condense the existing sentence to 'Temporary sidings led into the "Palace of Engineering" exhibition hall where various railway locomotives, including a Great Western Railway 4073 (Castle) class locomotive and the London and North Eastern Railway's Flying Scotsman were displayed.'. --Redrose64 (talk) 21:55, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You are right: danger of going a bit off topic otherwise. --Old Moonraker (talk) 23:06, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit of 09 Oct 2008

[edit]

Perhaps the article is a little more factual and easier to read. I'd not meant to edit it but was led into it from another.--SilasW (talk) 18:15, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
