[edit] {{Baldwin diesels}} vs {{Lima diesels}}

There is no {{Lima diesels}} template, so making that change creates a red link from valid data. {{Baldwin diesels}} was included in this article because Lima merged with Baldwin. Rather than changing the template back so it prints valid data and not a red link, I've simply removed it from the article. Until someone creates {{Lima diesels}} (which I don't see happening any time soon), changing the template here only creates a red link. slambo 15:13, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

I created a {{Lima diesels}} template using the existing List of Lima-Hamilton diesel locomotives, only to find out after the fact there is an identical {{Lima-Hamilton diesels}} template (my own fault for not researching it first). Both are limited since all the switcher links basically go to the same page (Lima 750, 800, 1000, and 1200 hp switchers). Perhaps in the future a page should be made for each switcher locomotive if there isn't one already, in either case the template links need to be changed to direct to each new page. Which ever template is decided to be used is fine with me. I won't be offended if {{Lima diesels}} gets deleted as a mistake and the other used instead. --DP67 (^talk/_contribs) 23:42, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
