Talk:Soviet locomotive class IS

2-8-4?

edit

From the drawing, the wheel arrangement appears to be 2-8-4. Can anyone confirm this? Wikipedia seems to have almost nothing about Russian locomotives and I think this is a gap that needs to be filled. Biscuittin (talk) 22:07, 9 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Incorrect link?

edit

The "Voroshilovgrad" link takes one to "Kolomna", which is wrong - "Voroshilovgrad" was - and is - a town in the eastern Ukraine, the name of which has now reverted (correct use of the word "reverted", for a change!) to "Lugansk". Klement (later "Marshal Klement") Voroshilov was born in or near the town (see Wiki entry for details), which is also the home of the locomotive works which built the large series of diesels used in in the GDR and Bulgaria, and now known in Germany as Class 130 or "Ludmillas" (thanks to their Russian origin).Maelli (talk) 12:23, 24 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

– These locomotives were all introduced during the period that Russia was part of the Soviet Union, and the term "Soviet locomotive" appears in the lede and infobox for those articles which include a nationality. See WT:WikiProject Trains/Archive: 2015#Soviet and Russian locomotives, which suggests that such articles should be at "Soviet" rather than "Russian". Tevildo (talk) 23:38, 1 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
