[edit] Rename

This article should be renamed to East Lancashire Railway(heritage) and an new East Lancashire Railway page created. To disambi between this and East Lancashire Railway 1844-1849.--MinedOutOffHisPiste 18:56, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Compromised, I assume people wanting East Lancashire Railway will be automatically wanting the heritage railway, so I moved the See Also section to the top and changed it as a common disambi. Any problems add to the this talk page. -Jrgnet 19:22, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 9F

The 9F I currently put as stored because for the forseeable future, and after what happened I do not think it will be moving anytime soon - Jrgnet Talk 17:18, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Wrong i'm afraid - technically on the wiki, stored is 'not being overhauled locos without a boiler ticket' - 92214 technically sits in the 'undergoing light work' area, as it NOT being stored. Talk 23:57, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] B Class article?

I can't agree with the assesment for this article as there is a lot that needs to be added to it yet. It the moment it consists of a couple of paragraphs of text and a long list of locomotives of interest only to railway enthusiasts. What happened between 1859 and 1987? How did revival of the railway come about? Who owns it and runs it? How many of the locomotives actually run on the railway and are they on show when they're not running? Where are the references?
