Dual gauge[edit]

This article was on the "new additions" list a day or two ago. I think it has the makings of a "featured article". It seems reasonably comprehensive to me, but really it needs other reviewers. There are two photos now though, as well as a diagram! If there's not much comment, I'll move this to FAC. zoney | talk 23:18, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I read it too, and liked it. But it needs more info on history and all around expansion before it is FA quality. --mav 06:13, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Perhaps the GWR broad gauge/standard gauge dual gauge railway needs to be brought forward in prominence - I should find out if it was the first. There isn't much more one can write about history of it! Apart from that - I can't see how one would expand other sections! Could you be more precise? zoney | talk 10:32, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)

might be some useful info at this link:

"railroad engineers... ...had responded, in general, that 4 feet, 8-1/2 inches was slightly suboptimal, and that something around 5 feet 0 would have been better."

There we go, the Irish 5 ft 3 in (1600 mm) gauge is best :o) zoney ███ talk 00:03, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)
