Should this section be an article in its own right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.193.99.43 ( talk) 08:55, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
While the term "cab-forward" may have been first used in automobiles on the Pacer, it certainly wasn't the first to use the concept. There are almost certainly more vehicles that fit the mold, but the one that comes to mind is the original Mini. It had the rear wheels nearly as far back as they could go without extending out of the body, the leading door edge is very close to the front wheel wells, while the bottom of the windshield is very nearly over the front axle. It also has a considerably shorter hood. It was also designed to seat 4 (admittedly not overly tall or wide) people while being over 1m shorter, .5m narrower with a wheelbase only(compared to over all length) .5m less. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.253.35.194 ( talk) 18:47, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
There seems to be no need for some of material to be duplicated in the Cab forward (car) article because all of it is in the automobiles section within this article. — CZmarlin ( talk) 04:26, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
The image Image:OP-15947.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

The "clarification needed" is right - driver's cab immediately forward of firebox doesn't make a lick of sense. Replaced it with "boiler", removing "immediately" because on coal-fired designs the smokebox is between driver and boiler.
I fear some of the visibility stuff is now duplicated, but I do think an explanation of why one builds such a thing needs to come further up the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pinkbeast ( talk • contribs) 01:06, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
As far as I know, there is no such thing as a coal-fired cab forward locomotive since there is no way to get the fuel from the tender to the firebox. This section makes little sense. Nickrz ( talk) 20:09, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
