Draft rework

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hello,

I'm doing my own research on the BESA locomotives, and it appears you've reproduced the original German article with a rough translation so far.

It's a starting point, however it would be a good addition to the historical development of Indian railway locomotives, either as a subsection of an article or stand-alone article. The draft's state so far seems to have less-than-satisfactory wikiwriting with inadequate sourcing.

Therefore, I have introduced a reworked version of the draft, built upon the original German text with new and adequate sources. Of assistance was a multilingual dictionary (English, French, German, Turkish) of steam locomotive components: http://www.trainsofturkey.com/pmwiki.php/Resources/Dictionary#Steam_engine

Hope this finds you well. Sourcing will be added later. Yugystudios (talk) 22:28, 7 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
