Talk:Victorian Railways X class (diesel)

message: As far as I can tell, the only people who would ever need to use pages like this one are rail enthusiasts/historians or model railway collectors.
The third category is important because it represents a considerable portion of the total page users, so it makes sense that the data should at least be accessible from this page, if not directly included.
For now I'm copying the table here, instead of on the main page, until we can get a higher-level ruling.
