"Failures" Section Removed

[edit]

The entire section was made up. Steam Locomotives of the NYC lines Vol 1 and 2, by William Edison and H.L. Vale JR; lists 0-8-8-0 locomotives on the roster being built from 1913-1916 and being scrapped between 1936 and 1951. NYC 2000 was an F3a 4-6-0 renumbered as 2000 in 1900, scrapped in 1934.

It had no sources anyway. --Roundishtc) 17:06, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I read back through the previous edits, and individual paragraphs were challenged and removed with sources. I put this note in to document why I eliminated the entire section of the page.
I attempted to add the references listed, but I am unfamiliar with editing source code. BMECNYC (talk) 20:07, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The section was edited and re-added again by an un-signed in user. BMECNYC (talk) 20:03, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

0-8-8-0 Locomotives

[edit]

Should this page have a listing of the railroads that used 0-8-8-0 locomotives, similar to how steamlocomotives dot com has a chart listing the different railroads that owned each type of locomotive? BMECNYC (talk) 20:14, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Articulated vs Mallet discussion

[edit]

The article lists (incorrectly in my opinion) that all 0-8-8-0s are Mallets because they are articulated. I created a discussion topic here as I want to get others opinions on how to edit the section to be consistent with the page on Mallets (there's a further discussion there as well).
