I've removed the following:

== New build ==
A "New Build" of this class would make an excellent addition to the UK Heritage scene. Not only was this a very successfull design, lasting untill 1966, it was also the first in a very long line of successful 2-6-4t engines, ending with the BR Standard 2-6-4t 80xxx. The class shares common features with other locomotives in preservation, most notably the NCC Class WT and LMS 3-Cylindered Stanier 2-6-4T. The RPSI is also looking at the possibility of building a new member of the WT class (No.58) to give them a second mainline tank locomotive considering the low availability of turntables on modern day lines,[1] as the cylinders and boiler are identicle it would make sense for a new build group to batch these items to reduce costs. Also with the boiler being parallel in design it is much easier to build reducing costs. Another New build parallel fowler boiler is to be built at LNWR Crewe for the LMS Patriot Project, so the skill's to do the work are out there.

This is because it's highly speculative, and unclear or irrelevant in several areas. What, for example, is the RPSI? Why is it necessary to mention the construction of another of the NCC Class WT here? It's also not well referenced and the first sentence fails WP:NPOV. --Redrose64 (talk) 18:55, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
