A fact from Tramcars of the National Tramway Museum appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on February 22, 2008.

What is the point of this page if it's replicating National Tramway Museum? --Escape Orbit 17:53, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi, eventually, this page will have the full fleet on it. It will not replicate the current page. Some people have expressed that there are a lot of blanks in the current table, so this page will replace it, with only details applicable to that tramcar. It will be slow going - there is a lot of info to move, without replicating the table, and pictures need to be uploaded - I was there yesterday, and am armed with several! Bluegoblin7 18:00, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

OK. I was just wondering why this page didn't link to the other, as that would make a lot of sense and provide some of the context it currently lacks. --Escape Orbit 19:09, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes. I haven't got round to linking it up till now, but there should now be a link! Bluegoblin7 19:15, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "EP controls"

This term is used twice in the page without explanation. Could it do with expanding, or linking to Brake (railway)#Electropneumatic brakes if that is the correct expansion in the case of trams? —Sladen (talk) 07:03, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Hmm... i'm not entirely sure. That's about the only part I didn't write, but i'll find out and elaborate.

[edit] Operational status column

Would it be worth swapping the 'red' and 'green' over. If the status column is designed to be "traffic signal like" to indicate the current capability of a tram, it's slightly strange to see the ones that work highlighted in heavy red!

The table could possibly benefit from a key at the top too to match up the meaning of the colours. —Sladen (talk) 16:56, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Hmm... ok, can do. Perhaps out of service should be Yellow, In service should be green, and on display red?

Key: How do you suggest doing so?

THanks,

[edit] Nottingham Trams

Nottingham 166 currently reads "The third Nottingham tram (others being 121 and 92) to be acquired by the Museum". I had a feeling that the tram pulled out the Lincolnshire garden last year as the first (and only) Nottingham tram that Crich. —Sladen (talk) 11:26, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi Sladen,

It the latest of three cars to be acquired (the others have since been scrapped), and it is in the best condition. I can't quite make out what else you wanted to say.

Thanks,
