Should the Autocoaches be included here? Or are they a separate category?

I think they count, though perhaps with a separate heading. --Danny252 (talk) 08:00, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
I think they should definitely be listed here although I have mixed feeling whether or not they should be under a separate heading. Boldford (talk) 17:53, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
I think they belong here with no need for a separate heading. I'm not so sure about the 5 DMUDiesel Multiple Unit cars though. They're not diesel locomotives and they're not exactly carriages, so it's either a separate heading on this page, or a page to themselves linked from the List of rolling stock page. Any preferences or other suggestions? --Graham Phillips 110 (talk) 00:08, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
In the absence of further comment, I've gone with the last suggestions, ie added the auto coaches as carriages and added a link to the DMUDiesel Multiple Unit page from the rolling stock page.--Robin (talk) 23:51, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

The BRBritish Rail or British Railways coaches are described as Crimson & Cream under Set C, but as Carmine & Cream in the table. Should we stick to one description, and if so which?--Robin (talk) 20:38, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

I was going by the information on www.bloodandcustard.net "The official Railways Executive designation was Crimson Lake - British Standard colour reference BS381C colour no.540 ‘crimson’."
Assuming this source is reliable, all occurrences of 'carmine' should be changed to 'crimson' and perhaps an explanation added on the page.

Amended as suggested.--Robin (talk) 23:22, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

I've added 2 LMSLondon Midland & Scottish Railway coaches which are in the last Stock Book I have and are also in the VCT database as being still at the SVRSevern Valley Railway. Please update or delete if info is incorrect. --Robin (talk) 22:34, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Amended, now only added one as the other was a duplicate under a different number


Robin's note reminded me: I realised the other week that the railway's GWRGreat Western Railway SiphonGWR telegraphic code signifying a milk van G wasn't listed anywhere - but wasn't sure where to put it. I filed it under Goods Wagons but as NPCCS it should probably be on this page. For that matter, how many SiphonGWR telegraphic code signifying a milk van Gs do we have? --WillSalt (talk) 18:12, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
