Please excuse the naivete, but did not Australian State owned railway workshops effectively build their own engines at times? Are we caught up with the issue of where 'company' is a limiting term - because I am sure that in Western Australia the WAGR (Western Australian Government Railways) built engines. Where/how do we list "in-house" construction? I am very interested in how we get around this one.User:SatuSuro 14:59, 8 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

Number ever built.

edit

Trains magazine had a article estimating the number of locomotives ever built worldwide. It was about, IIRC, 500,000.

Selection Criteria and Categorization

edit

In this article, should manufacturers only be listed once in the country where their headquarters are located, or should there be a separate entry for each country that the manufacturer builds locomotives in? What is the criteria for listing subsidiaries? What is the proper way to indicate that a manufacturer is now a subsidiary of another manufacturer? Do manufacturers of track machines and DMUs/EMUs qualify for this list? Sorry for my ignorance and the list of questions, and thank you for any replies.

Modern Steam Traction

edit

I do apologize for this, but I feel as though the 5AT Project doesn’t deserve to be on this list. My reasoning is that throughout the project existence, to my knowledge, it never produced a single locomotive. Therefore, by my train of thought (forgive the pun), they don’t classify as a locomotive builder. I wish to put this up for debate and see how people feel on this topic before I or anyone else changed it. If you have an opinion on this, please either write below or on my talk page. Thank you for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Locomotive 150 (talkcontribs) 03:52, 16 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
