Talk:LMS diesel shunters

This article needs to be split so that there is better flow in the text and then each class should get its own page including tech details. It works better like that. Dunc|☺ 12:02, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

May I suggest using new names such as LMS diesel shunter 1831 rather than just LMS 1831 as the latter isn't very informative. Our Phellap 12:34, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Its seems to be missing some information. I am sure that theChurchill 8F locomotive Company bought back an LMS diesel from France that had an interesting life. It was exported in 1940 as a WD loco capture by the Germans and then m,achined gunned by the RAF. It finished up in French service and then languished ina Parisian(I think)scrapyard.

Grouping these locomotives under one heading means that they are easily found, however I agree with those who have argued that more detail is required, hence this page as a starting point with links to more detailed articles may be the way forward. What is certain is that a more scholarly approach the subject is required, with proper academic citation of sources in order that those such as myself, engaged in research can quote this source with impunity.
