Talk:British Rail Class 87

Untitled

List of locos moved back to separate page. Lists like this break up the textual story of the class, with the list of locos sitting better in a separate location in a similar way to that in printed volumes.Romfordian (talk) 13:28, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Why split?

Is there any particular reason why List of British Rail Class 87 locomotives is split into a seperate article? Or could they be re-integrated? I haven't seen this split anywhere else. G-13114 (talk) 10:58, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

It was done recently with List of British Rail Class 52 locomotives, although there is a list in the main article British Rail Class 52 too. Several steam loco classes have such split, but usually don't have a duplicate list in the primary article. Such split pages include:

• GWR 4073 Class / List of GWR 4073 Class locomotives
• GWR 4900 Class / List of GWR 4900 Class locomotives
• LSWR N15 class / List of King Arthur class locomotives
• SR Lord Nelson class / List of Lord Nelson class locomotives
• SR Merchant Navy class / List of SR Merchant Navy class locomotives
• LNER Gresley Classes A1 and A3 / List of LNER Class A1/A3 locomotives

OK so the split is made - now do we remove the table? Railwayfan2005 (talk) 16:26, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

Done. Suggestions for improving the replacement table welcome, or you could just merge back List of British Rail Class 87 locomotives.Railwayfan2005 (talk) 12:03, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
