R type carriages

Hi Beachbo,

I finally got a copy of the Comeng book, and I've rewritten a draft of the VicRail R type carriage article incorporating that text.

User:Anothersignalman/VicRail R type carriage

Pretty sure that's incorporating everything that has ever been published on the vehicles. I'm keeping the Railpage references because the user, kuldalai, has built up a reliable reputation for accuracy over more than a decade, but that thread is no longer the main source of information. Hopefully one of the Wikibots will smooth out the referencing eventually - I wasn't sure how to code that.

What are your thoughts? Anothersignalman (talk) 20:29, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

Re Stainless Steel rolling stock page

Hi Beachbo,

I seem to have misplaced my copy of [1] at the moment, so I'll add the references I do have on hand from other books for now and come back to the rest when I find it.
