I'm not sure whether the comment above from 11 days ago was actually a review (and if so, what was checked) and this has been sitting here for a while now so I will just start from scratch!
- Article - created new on 9 October, so new enough; 2441 characters of readable prose, so long enough; neutral; at least one inline citation to every paragraph; no copy vios detected using earwig/duplication detector and a quick skim through the books pre-view; assessed as start class on one project and un-assessed on the other, so not a stub.
- Hook - within length criteria at 157 characters; correctly formatted; and interesting.
- QPQ done.
Two queries: I think the hook is supported by ref #1 (p 79) and ref #5 but although I see the hook mentioned in the lead (without a ref), I'm not seeing it anywhere else in the text? The image does seem to be fine as it's PD but I'm going to ask Crisco to double check as the bit about it showing no copyright marks is a new one to me.

- Thanks for catching that; I've added an explicit reference for it in the body. Do you need anything further from me on the image? Mackensen (talk) 20:32, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for a prompt response. I'm not especially familiar with trains I'm afraid so, in my ignorance, I don't know if the wording you added with the ref means the same as the hook (my bad
). To belt and brace the DYK rule, would you be willing to add an inline cite immediately after the lead sentence that finishes World War II? Pedantic I know! Re the image, it seems fine to me, I would just like confirmation from a higher authority that it's all hunky dory. SagaciousPhil - Chat 21:48, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Image is PD, hook is supported by ref #6 at the end of the first paragraph of the 'History' section (although I can't get snippet view to work for it, the book description clearly supports the hook, so using a green tick). SagaciousPhil - Chat 08:10, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
