Just been trying out a few tweaks to this. I'm not sure whether it would be best to have a much more detailed infobox, like the ones on Wikipedia, or leave it as it is with just the basics and any extra detail in the text or via the Wikipedia link.--Graham Phillips 110 (talk) 08:09, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

I quite like the level of information as it is. I think a detailed set of dimensions and statistics for each class is probably better left to other sites - Wikipedia and other sites already have all that minutae covered, and I suspect anyone that is really interested in the grate area of a GWR 28xx won't be looking here...
I've tweaked the colours in the title to be a bit more GWR/SVR-esque, rather than the rather garish FR red it was before! --Danny252 (talk) 08:27, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
Thanks both. I'd also say keep the level reasonably short. I like the new 'GWR' colours in line with the SVR logo, although it may look a bit strange on LMS and SR locos. Maybe use a more appropriate infobox colour for those? --Robin (talk) 14:52, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
