This man was acknowledged nationally as the first railway engineer in India. The railways in India rapidly brought enormous benefit to internal and external trade -- just look at the article on East Indian Railway and see the amazing growth of traffic in the 1850s and compare it with the sailing boats and bullock carts that prevailed before then.--Duncanogi (talk) 09:02, 19 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
I propose to change the title to George Turnbull (civil engineer) as this is more accurate. Not sure how to do it!--Duncanogi (talk) 09:48, 20 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

History is illustrated by items owned by persons. These items were pertinent to Turnbull's major contribution: railways in India. Somebody removed these in the gallery: I have reinstated them. Please be so good as to leave them there.--Duncanogi (talk) 12:38, 8 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
Addendum: Why don't you add them into the ruler or Engineer's scale articles? (Actually, scratch the second one, it's already there.) It would be much more relevant to show the picture of the instrument within the article that talks about those instruments, and would give a bit of a historical view as well.
