This article is incorrect the main line is to Bryngwyn, the Rhyd Ddu section was the branch line originally--Pandaplodder (talk) 20:53, 19 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Were you reading a 2 year old version of this article.?

Please read again - the opening statement says "The North Wales Narrow Gauge Railways (Moel Tryfan Undertaking) (to give it its full name) was a 1 ft 11½ in (597 mm) gauge railway running from Dinas to Bryngwyn, Wales, which was authorised by Act of Parliament 1872" and has been similarly worded for the last 2 years. Yes, originally someone said different, but this was corrected over 2 years ago.

I have put a line in, although some would say repetitive, explaining the situation

And PS. Terminological error .... There is now, no line to Bryngwyn ... it was lifted in 1941. Keith 05:26, 20 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

What is the appropriate title and topics? edit

The North Wales Narrow Gauge Railways (Moel Tryfan Undertaking) (to give it its full name) was a ... railway ...

But books largely use North Wales Narrow Gauge Railways to mean the North Wales Narrow Gauge Railways Company, and Moel Tryfan Undertaking (or half the time Moel Tryfan undertaking, lowercased) for the physical railway system. What is the proper convention for making this clear, and what is the best title, main topic, and lead sentence in covering such things? The current lead seems very hard to understand, and "North Wales Narrow Gauge Railways Moel Tryfan Undertaking" is rare or nonexistent in books. Dicklyon (talk) 17:52, 5 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
