the pages of railway vehicles

It has come to my attention by reading the pages that some of the pages for Locomotives and Multiple Units may be missing some valuable key elements.

I believe that locomotives should have sanding equipment put in if that type uses it and that onboard electric equipment for electric locomotives should be included in all electric locomotive articles just like the transmission data for diesel locomotives.

And on to multiple units, I have seen that select DMU and EMU articles show wheel arrangement while others do not.

And I think it should be put into the articles of DMUs fuel capacity just like is done with diesel locomotives.

I also believe that DMU and EMU units should have records of sanding equipment like locomotives should as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.152.144.136 (talk) 21:05, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
