Untitled[edit]

Several locomotive articles which relate only to the Republic of Ireland have had the category "Rail transport in Northern Ireland" added. Is this standard or is it a mistake or is it a political statement? Biscuittin (talk) 22:48, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Confusion[edit]

I've realised this probably needs a bit of work to ease confusion. I've not doing it immediately now but I'll try to sort the issues as best I can .... I might over edit this explanation to improve it or correct mistakes.

In 1876 there were built Nos. 201 202; two 0-6-4BT. These were notable as the first 0-6-4s in the UK. I've seen them quoted as not a good design
In 1879 there following Nos. 0-6-4T Nos. 203-206 (Class 203). There were broadly similar but had only side tankss.
In 1887 there were 4 0-6-0Ts introduced by Ivatt (Nos. 207-210); followed by Nos. 201 & 202 in 1897 (The existing 201/202 were renumbered); and in 1902 by Nos. 217-220. These ten became GSR Class 201/J11.
In 1897 The original No. 201/2 became Jumbo and Negro. Jumbo was rebuilt as a 0-6-0T in 1911; Negro was withdrawn as an 0-6-4T in 1981
No 204 was converted to an 0-6-0T in 1914 becoming GSR Class 204/J12 though it was dimensionally almost identical to 201/J11

In summary probably needs to break to two articles at some point. Djm-leighpark (talk) 07:10, 8 April 2019 (UTC) I have now taken this article to deal specifically with GSR Class J11 (&J12). My intentions is another article will be created in due course to cover the 0-6-4T locomotives. I have chosen to achieve this my reverting my contribution to this article and rebuilding it in a different way rather than going via a split ... this is only possible I am the only major contributor in the backed out content. I have reapplied auxiliary contributions from two others and ignored but pay respect to one spelling correction lost in the reversion.Djm-leighpark (talk) 22:43, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
