message: Hello. If anyone can clarify the current sitaution as described in the text - specifically - what if any is the relationship between Mr. Graham Lee and the engineering works situated at Statfold Barn Railway near Tamworth in Staffordshire and the The Hunslet Steam Engine Co.
Also what is the name of the engineering works mentioned. etc.
Is Graham Lee part of the current hunslett engine company?
Thanks for your time.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by FengRail (talk • contribs) 20:07, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: My guess is that these are replica locomotives and not built by Hunslet. However, I agree that it is very unclear. Biscuittin (talk) 16:56, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

message: There's a note:
" Two articulated Hunslet Engine 0-4-4-0 locomotives were supplied to the Royal Arsenal..."
Can some point out or link it to the part in the text it's supposed to be connected to - I can't find the note mark.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by FengRail (talk • contribs) 20:13, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

:::Graham Lee, in business with an engineering works situated at Statfold Barn Railway near Tamworth in Staffordshire, constructed in 2005 and 2006 two new Quarry Hunslet locomotives (named Statfold and Jack Lane) similar in appearance to Irish Mail. In January 2007 Jack Lane was offered for sale by the manufacturers for £152,750 (Railway Magazine, February 2007). Graham Lee is chairman of LH Group Services Ltd - which in 2005 bought what remained of the Hunslet Engine Company.
The connection with the company is not totally clear - this page should be an article about Hunslet. It looks like an article on LH Group might be needed - I assume the above is part of the LH group.Mddkpp (talk) 02:16, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Is a dead link - obviously I can use google an find http://www.amberleymuseum.co.uk/ Is this relavent as an external link though?
I 'hacked' at the article - the lead section was "wrong" - also (subjectively) too many sections per line of text, also changed section headings according to "Keep it simple" principles. Some meta discussion removed, other retained as "notes". Attempt at a consistent citation style (may need work). As noted above an article on LH Group may be needed - also the relation with "Barclay" over the ~30 years ownership is not clear - more info pleae + cites.
Also moved preservation to bottom to stop it splitting the company history. Probably did some other stuff too changes - didn't actually remove much text..

message: We have "The last industrial steam engine built in Britain was built at Hunslet in 1971 for export to Java." This is accompanied by Note 2, which reads "This engine later returned to Britain and is preserved in working order." Given its historic significance, that note seems very vague. While a Note isn't the right place for acres of text, I do think at least what type of engine it was, who preserved it and where it is now should be mentioned. I don't personally know, so can't do the requisite editing myself. 86.186.54.115 (talk) 02:42, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
