I've added some more information, but I can't seem to edit the to-do list! Oh well Trampled 12:44, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I've added some early biog details, taken from the 1912 Railway Year Book. I'm sure that one of my Railway Magazines has a much more updated version: I'll keep looking. There's the knighthood for a start Peter Shearan 06:27, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
That phrase confuses me. Anyone have an idea what is meant? ++ Lar: t/ c 11:45, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
Concur. That does not make sense. It almost sounds as if the comment is designed to excuse why he was born in Edinburgh, as if that were something that needed excusing. I presume his mother had problems during pregnancy and as both Glasgow and Edinburgh had, at the time, world class reputations for advanced and pioneering medical practices then perhaps that was the best care available. For example, the first successful Ceasarean Section under modern antiseptic conditions was performed at Rotten Row Glasgow in 1888 by Murdoch Cameron. Notwithstanding all that I dont think the article needs that comment. If it has some bearing on his life or other truely encyclopeadic reason then explain it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.26.104.178 ( talk) 22:05, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
Well, while this may be true, one should mention, that the valve gear was disputed and Thompson as well as Peppercorn rebuilt many engines with an independent set of gear for the inside cylinders. There seemed to be a major problems with slack in the gear, when maintenance conditions were not ideal or the engines had amassed high mileages after the last overhaul, leading to poor performance or even failure of middle big end. I think this should be incorporated in the article. Thanks, -- 92.227.22.42 ( talk) 16:59, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
