Hi Slambo. From your edits at Glossary of rail terminology, I thought that you might be able to help with an article we're developing. The draft article is at User:Suntag/Train melody. If you (or any of your train pals) know anything about this topic as it is used in English speaking countries or know of any references we can use to develop the draft article, please post your thoughts at User talk:Suntag/Train melody. Thanks. -- Suntag ☼ 16:07, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

I just want to let you know that the July 29 in rail transport ended in a no consensus. I am currently disputing that decision atWikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2008 December 3. If you wish to speak your opinion of the result of the AfD, please do so at the Deletion Review. Thanks for your opinion in the discussion. Tavix (talk) 00:48, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi, The article needed a map, so I've created a simple schematic one (using Paint) and put it up. I have no idea of vector graphics, so could you please direct me to a tutorial so that I can learn to (re)create the map using it? Alternatively, one of the task force members could create a vector map for the page. Regards, SBC-YPR (talk) 07:59, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Could you, or some one else, progressively add a spacer   to the templates so that the there will be no "splits" at the end of a line? Peter Horn 20:42, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
