I'm not sure that the picture I put up was the most representative, since it appears to show a fairlie without the joined boilers and thus an open cab -- but it was one I was sure was PD, since it was published in the US in 1908. Any better, please find ;) —Morven 00:45, Nov 20, 2004 (UTC)
Are double-ended locos not having powered bogies but with drivers, cylinders etc fixed to the frame still Fairlies? There are a couple of examples featured in the article. -- Old Moonraker ( talk) 09:34, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
"A Fairlie locomotive was in Railroad Tycoon 3 and it went at 18mph." appears in the lead paragraph. It may be true, but would appear to be slightly trivial to include in the lead (or, quite possibly, at all). Is there a strong feeling to keep it? MurfleMan ( talk) 04:00, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
The article states that the double Fairlies have a divided water space - this is certainly not true of the Ffestiniog Railway locomotives which are currently in service. Is there any evidence that this was the case in the original design. I cannot find any. John ( talk) 08:43, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
There is some inconsistency in the Fairlie wheel arrangements given in Wikipedia. I have always described Fairlies as 0-4-4-0 and 0-6-6-0 but, in Wikipedia, the Garratt designations 0-4-0+0-4-0 and 0-6-0+0-6-0 are sometimes used. Could we please standardize on 0-4-4-0 and 0-6-6-0?

Quotes: (1) "The design was chosen with the belief that if one boiler or set of valve gear was damaged by enemy fire, the loco could continue to operate". (2) "The primary difference between a Fairlie and the Péchot-Bourdon is that the latter only had one steam dome". These two statements don't add up. If there was only one steam dome, there must have been only one boiler, so damage to one half of the boiler would put both halves out of action. Biscuittin ( talk) 07:03, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
The general reader coming here needs to be told how a Fairlie is different from a Garratt. (I don't know, or else I would edit this). There are also quite a lot of eccentric narrative styles in this article. I'll have a shot at them if someone else could provide an authoritative explanation of the Garratt issue.
