Are the Reed, Brian (1972) and the Reid, p. 25. references the same reference book, and just a spelling mistake? -- TubularWorld ( talk) 23:22, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
The following information was omitted from the 4-4-2 article since I believe it to be better suited to locomotive-specific articles. Stored here for easy retrieval. André Kritzinger 01:00, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
As a result of these engines being superseded by more modern steam traction, few have survived.
Is this a 4-4-0 or a 2-4-2? Because the article says both and there's no sourcing either way. Diaph0nous ( talk) 14:30, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
(Bullied, 1967, p.143-4) refers to an after dinner re-union meeting at 27 November 1896 at the St. Pancras Hotel where Ivatt and Aspinall discussed ways for building larger engines the former's Sterling singles with a trailing axle and Aspinall's 4-4-0 high flyers needing a larger boiler. At said meeting Ivatt was opined towards the 4-4-2 arrangement. It was recognised two driving axles would provide less adhesion than three - but believed adhesion was not an issue for express passenger work,(at that time I believe train weights were shortly to increase), but the 4-4-2 arrangement gave more freedom in firebox design. It was also discussed how they could leverage successful elements their existing designs onto a 4-4-2 format, (Bullied, 1967, p.109 indicate Aspinall read American technical literature and made a technical visit to the USA in 1890 to assess the latest techniques in locomotive engineering and steel-making. As such "copied" is a slightly trite word, though awareness of Baldwin/American (and much else) practice would have entered into their considerations. (It is do be noted many 4-6-0 designs at the start of the twentieth century were not fully successful, The Hughes' 4-6-0 for the L&YR (under Aspinall then as GM) one notable exception being GWR 4-6-0's).
