The main clip usefully includes shots from many different angles, including overhead, plus some views inside the cab. Both clips give a good idea of what these machines sound like. Taken at the Severn Valley Railway Autumn Diesel Gala 1998.

Talk:On a Day Like Today (Keane song)

message: Think this needs to be incorporated into the main article referring to Hopes and Fears songs, and not treated as a separate song.  The main reason being that the band have stated explicitly that they consider it a part of the album and consider the album incomplete without it, regardless of what Island/Interscope have determined for profit reasons, so to keep it separate is just inappropriate.  Plus frankly, it's just confusing.

Talk:One Day in Your Life (Michael Jackson song)

message: I know some have described Michael as an R&B singer and he did do R&B material but this record is not a soul/R&B record. It's a pop record. That's why I didn't think those genres were necessarily. The song's music clearly fits that of a soft rock/adult contemporary field.

Talk:British Rail Class 28

message: "After overhaul, the locomotives were not returned to Derby as expected, but were dispatched en-masse to Furness and West Cumberland where they spent the rest of their service lives pottering about the Cumbrian Coast and Lake District branch lines. The first examples trickled through in early 1962 and the remainder followed by the end of the year. Although all allocated to Barrow-in-Furness shed, a few were sub-shedded at Workington, the train crews and fitters seeming to know how to get the best out of them. Indeed, one Barrow driver was known to claim that the refurbished class were just as reliable as any other diesel type on the London Midland Region, opining that the Midland men just didn't know how to handle them". This was also my impression when I saw them on the Cumbrian Coast line around 1962. The tickover was like clockwork, there was no misfiring and very little smoke. I think the problems had been largely solved and the decision to withdraw them was made simply because they were a small and non-standard class. Biscuittin (talk) 14:18, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: One would always have expected them to tick over well. Nor was it ever claimed that they smoked at idle, or when working hard. The smoke problem was when their load changed. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:59, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: For an engine of the 1950s, I'd say that smoke on load change was perfectly normal. There were no electronic control units in those days. Biscuittin (talk) 17:26, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  Not for Crossley, AFAIK, although the Class 55 (from DP1) had a very sophisticated electronic control system (valve and relay). Most of the diesel-electrics had at least some level of electrical ECU, because it was easier to integrate that with the generator and traction motor controls. Napier also had enough experience with hydropneumatic controls (mostly from the Nomad) to build a comparably sophisticated one of those. Andy Dingley (talk) 18:28, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

Talk:British Rail Class 31

message: I have a couple of queries regarding the "Fleet details" table.  Firstly, the fact that Class 31/4 is shown as 17 built + 53 converted, whereas I was under the impression that they were all retrofitted with the equipment, just that some were done many years earlier than others?  In other words, I thought that all 70 are really converted (even though some of them have been 31/4 for as long as TOPS classifications have existed).
Secondly, I was once told that 31/5 was not an official classification, and that the 315xx locos were officially 31/1s.  I only have the one source for this one, but it was someone who generally knew what he was talking about regarding TOPS classes...

Talk:Yankees–Red Sox rivalry/Archive 1

message: * Let's move on to something we can collaborate on together and make the article shine a bit more. I added an already existing picture of Ruth to the "early" section, but I think we could use a few more pictures, especially in the "key moments" section. Pictures that would be best, I think, are maybe pictures of Murderer's Row, Johnny Pesky in the 1946 World Series the Bucky Dent home run, the Aaron Boone home run, the picture of Jason Varitek with his glove in Alex Rodriguez' face, and the David Ortiz home run from either Game 4 or Game 5 of the 2004 ALCS. Also worthy, I think, would be the Red Sox on-field celebration from the 2004 World Series and maybe one from the Yankees' World Series wins between 1996 and 2000.
