Merge?

[edit]

I wonder if this shouldn't be merged as a new section to Armoured trains of Poland?--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 19:16, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see what's gained by this. Many of the Polish armoured trains have their own articles so I don't see a problem with twelve trains here having their article. They are also quite distinct from the Polish trains as they started off and ended with a British crew and they were very much a part of the Polish Army in the West.

Title

[edit]

Is the title optimal, or does it perhaps give the impression that there were trains from Poland in Britain? While the military crews were Polish for part of the lives of the trains, the concept and the actual trains weren't Polish. Also, should the RH&DR be here at all? G Balfour's "The Armoured Train" credits its creation to the Somerset Light Infantry and Ashford works, with later operation by the Royal Engineers, and makes no mention of Polish forces in its chapter on the miniature train. Would something like "Armoured trains in Britain" be clearer, with details of the crew arrangements? Or "Polish armoured train units in Britain", or something similar?

Polish armoured train units in Britain sounds reasonable. JASpencer (talk) 07:46, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I just decided to go ahead and move the article. JASpencer (talk) 07:48, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
