: Andy, a quick wander through wikipedia whilst looking for GPCS links led me to conclude that there are a whole bunch of pages on steam technology that need some attention, and then need proper cross-referencing, if you feel up for the fight? For example: |

Your Austerity list page is a good idea. Andy Dingley (talk) 12:05, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks Andy - after reading the Austerity page it just seemed that a list needed doing, and I might as well make a start. I'm tempted now to do something similar for narrow guage engines on the main Hunslet Engine Company page (which, incidentaly, needs a thorough edit, but probably not by me as I don't know the company well enough!).

20th Centuary Steam Locomotive Technology
It has also prompted me to do something on the Hunslet GPCS, which I've been thinking about for ages. Andy Dingley (talk) 12:05, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
- Andy, a quick wander through wikipedia whilst looking for GPCS links led me to conclude that there are a whole bunch of pages on steam technology that need some attention, and then need proper cross-referencing, if you feel up for the fight? For example:
- Steam locomotive exhaust system - needs creating, and linking to the following:
- Kylchap - exists as a reasonable stub.
- Kylpor - a completely feeble stub, which needs expanding and renaming because it confuses ejectors with exhausts and has an incorrect wikilink to injectors.
- Lempor - as above
- Giesl ejector - another reasonable stub.
- Lemaître Exhaust - needs creating
- Blastpipe - contains a lot of information about the whole exhaust system, with not much about actual blastpipes.
- Chimney (locomotive) - needs creating, current chimney page is all about power stations not locomotives.
- Porta's page doesn't have wikilinks to any of the technologies he developed, or any word on how he contributed to them. I may have to start burrowing through some books!
- Jean Lemaître - a feeble 3-line stub with more info about his exhaust than about the man himself. I know his exhausts were used by Bulleid on the Merchant Navy, but know nothing of the man's history.
- Steam locomotive exhaust system - needs creating, and linking to the following:
- I hope this isn't too technical for wikipedia - the engineer in me just loves this kind of stuff!
