Waianae Sugar Company
[edit]Do you know any details about the locomotive of Waianae Sugar Company?
The first locomotive was imported from John Fowler & Co. at Leeds, England. It had to be disassembled and re-assembled to get it ashore. Only then it was noted that it did not match the 2 ft 6 in (762 mm) narrow gauge track. The undercarriage had to be dismantled, machined to size, and then commissioned. --NearEMPTiness (talk) 06:27, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Fowler tractor in a film
[edit]In a video production of an Agatha Christie novel featuring Hercule Poirot, "The Theft of the Royal Ruby", there is a tractor that drive out from a farm onto a road. The company name is very clearly visible on the tractor. Is this worth mentioning? Are there other machines in other movies? Pete unseth (talk) 00:46, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Pete unseth: Are there any reliable sources that point this out? Was it significant to the plot that a Fowler tractor was used? Would it have made any difference to the story if a Foster tractor had been used? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 07:19, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
- The company was not crucial in the plot. The only source I have is the video, itself. I only raise the question of mentioning this in article. I am not pushing for it.Pete unseth (talk) 20:03, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
- Then it shouldn't be included, per WP:NOTINDISCRIMINATE and WP:HTRIVIA. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 10:09, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
