The layout of the tables needs to be adjusted - the notes are getting mashed up thinly on the right side, making them hard to read. I am unsure how the mashing can be corrected but I think the Notes convert important information, it would be nice to be able to read them more easily.
The images are all very well-done, they illustrate the text without overwhelming it. I especially like the use of the "Walt Disney Railroad Map/template"
That is much better, but the text is still sort of stacked-up. Would is be possible to perhaps delete one of the columns - maybe the "in service" one - to buy more space for the text in that right column? Also, why does the Walter E Disney locomotive have no "Notes"?

I got rid of the "In service" column. This is actually a good long-term change, as it will decrease the urge by amateur editors to constantly update this criteria whenever they hear new rumors from blogs and forums on which locomotives are working and not working (it's almost impossible to get up-to-date info like this from formal publications and Disney pretty much never gives out these kinds of details). I increased the notes column width from 20% to 25%, as well. Also, the reason why there are no notes for the No. 1 locomotive is because I did not come across anything of note about it specifically while doing my research. Jackdude101 (

I did one other change to the table: I combined the "Builder" and "Builder number" columns into one column. It's mentioned more than once in the article that all of the WDWRR's locomotives were built by Baldwin Locomotive Works anyway. Jackdude101 (

User:Jackdude101 I know this is Huffington Post but it mentions that the Broggie & Walt ran together in Mexico for
40 years and are still running together. "These two locomotives were built side by side in 1925 by Baldwin Locomotive works for Ferrocarriles Unidos de Yucatan.They worked side by side in Mexico for 40 years, and today they still run on the same tracks together."
On
Page 331 of Michael Broggie's book, he says that the Walter E. Disney" is the tallest of the locomotives at 11ft/11 inches.
On
Page 322, (and this is alluded to in the article) Engine #1 & #3 are identical twins under the different paint jobs.
I alluded to this above. It's very unlikely that we are going to find a quality source to confirm that, given that Disney is super-secretive about this sort of thing. Disney also makes all of the people with whom they do business sign all kinds of confidentiality agreements so that they cannot reveal any of the work they are doing for them. Jackdude101 (
