@SCHolar44, in relation to you tagging this article as "This article may contain an excessive amount of intricate detail that may interest only a particular audience", this is true for all articles relating to rolling stock in Victoria (all links in Template:Victorian rolling stock).
Some confusion may have come from the article name. This page deals with a class of 42 carriages jointly built by the Victorian Railways and South Australian Railways. Unlike other classes of carriages which have simple names (eg Victorian Railways E type carriage) these don't. They were used on the Intercolonial Express (now called The Overland). -- ThylacineHunter (talk) 03:22, 28 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
I have always highly valued your comments/edits in articles in which we've both been interested, so I'd like to fully understand what you mean (though I do understand your comment about the article name and the chronology). Could you please elaborate on the point you're making? It won't be all that difficult to get me to remove the tag; it's not far over the border from "borderline". ;-)Cheers, Simon – SCHolar44 🇦🇺💬 at 04:03, 28 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
@SCHolar44, I was actually unsure as to why you tagged the article in the first place.
If this article was considered "intricate detail for only a particular audience" then that must also be true for every other class of railway carriages, and locomotives in Victoria (and possibly that also any article relating to railway rolling stock may also fall under "intricate detail for only a particular audience"). -- ThylacineHunter (talk) 04:23, 28 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
