I've added a bit of information to this, some of it is cited and verified and some of it not, although for the most part I'd say it's all fairly reliable. I hope to include this and all the rest of the Cornish china clay related articles in a wikiproject on Cornish china clay at some point, which hopefully will allow linking this article to a number of articles on the broader subject of clay mining in Cornwall. If anyone would be interested in contributing then please do let me know. ▫Bad▫harlick♠ 18:04, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
At present the article starts with
It was built as a horse-drawn tramway ... In 1874 the line was rebuilt ... at which time the gauge was changed from 4 ft 6 in (1,372 mm) to 2 ft 6 in (762 mm).
I can't find any documented reference to the gauge ever having been 4ft 6in and I am going to edit it out. If I am mistaken, please accept my apologies and cite an authority, and reinstate the reference. Afterbrunel ( talk) 19:02, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
I am a bit uncomfortable with this text in the article:
A set of complete points are still in situ outside an old engine shed. An unusual weigh bridge is also still in existence although being overgrown.
There is no date. These artefacts could have been removed a month later, but no-one knows when an editor said they "are" in situ. Quite apart from that where are they? Outside an old engine shed? Where? This is potentially useful information -- a photograph would have been even better -- but we need more detail. Afterbrunel ( talk) 22:20, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
