nl:Railprofiel and nl:Verschil tussen trein- en tramspoor
Hello Erik, Any good reason for removing these two from the English Wiki since these appear to be the closest or nearest equivalents available? Can you suggest an (a) alternative(s)? Hartelijke groeten, we hebben melkaar al "ontmoet" op de Dutch Wiki. Leave me a note an my talk page. Peter Horn16:52, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
(Copy and paste from nl:Verschil tussen trein- en tramspoor) Bij tramrails, vooral in steden, moeten vaak zeer krappe bogen met kleine straal (soms minder dan 20 meter) worden toegepast. Ook is verkanting, vanwege de ligging in het wegdek, soms niet mogelijk. Hoogstens kan een kleine verkanting worden toegepast. Op plaatsen buiten Nederland wordt soms in scherpe bogen de groef vaak ondiep uitgevoerd, waardoor het wiel in de buitenbocht tijdelijk op de flens, in plaats van op de wielband, rijdt. Hierdoor wordt de wieldiameter vergroot en de bocht makkelijk genomen. In zeer extreme gevallen is het zelfs zo dat alleen in de binnenbocht nog een groef zit, de buitenbocht bestaat uit niet meer dan een ijzeren plaat.
Een treinwiel rijdt in de regel nooit op de flens; zelfs als dit eenmalig gebeurt kan dit de flens beschadigen
What is (are) the source(s) of these statements? Would you care to cooperate in an eventual translation of nl:Verschil tussen trein- en tramspoor from Dutch into English?
De krapste bocht op de tramwegen in Montreal was 40 engelse voeten (12,192 m).
De trams van Toronto moeten een bocht van 36 voeten (12,973 m) kunnen handelen.
De interurbans van de British Columbia Electric Railway en de Pacific Electric Railway (en anderen) liepen beiden op tram spoor en op trein spoor. --Peter Horn 12 apr 2007 18:59 (CEST)
I removed some interwiki's because they did not give a link to the exact same subject (or word); for that same reason it is not possible to have more than one interwiki to any other Wikipedia. - Erik Baas21:40, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Erik,
Exact same subject (or word) can in some cases be a bit too restictive, as there is some overlapping at times as seems to be the case here nl:Overleg:Verschil tussen trein- en tramspoor. At any rate this article is wrtth translating provided that citations can be given for some of the statements. cheers, Peter Horn18:13, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
