To do edit list WikiProject National Railway Museum has been put in place to support a likely GLAM collaboration with the NRM. Notes for a forthcoming 22 June meeting provide background. Through May and up to 22 June 2011, the project is mainly concerned with arranging the meeting, and putting in place a project framework to support anticipated future work. The project's initial scope and objectives, which have a high dependency on the NRM's intentions and capacity, will start to become clear from 22 June. Project related tasks List yourself as a Participant in the NRM project. Find and assess the quality of articles related to the NRM by adding the {{WikiProject National Railway Museum}} banner to the article's talk page. The {{WikiProject National Railway Museum}} provides fuller instructions on how to use the template to add details of quality and importance (typically, one will add something like {{WikiProject National Railway Museum|class=B|importance=Mid}} Stubs: Improve a stub-class article; or improve a start-class article. Or, indeed, improve any of the articles linked from the quality assessment table Start a new article List missing articles at the foot of this page Undertake a peer review of an article by adding to the article's talk page, typically under a section heading such as Peer Review== Make additional task suggestions to this page. Thoughts from 22 June meeting Produce a list of missing articles - list the titles of articles you think should exist - artists, objects, themes, &c Provide pointers to the wider corpus of railway related articles already on wikipedia, which might be improved by NRM input Encourage NRM curators to undertake peer review of existing articles - cf. Talk:Lindow_Man#Peer_review_by_British_Museum_curator Organise a backstage event of some sort - cf. Backstage Pass page.

(So far I've added on the basis that classes should be added to NRM Project when we have the only, or one of few, preserved locos in that class. Might be worth expanding to ALL the classes we have in Collection?). I'm asking a curator to rate these for importance, then I'll add them to the matrix 10:41, 11 August 2011 (UTC) LB&SCR B1 class LMS Hughes Crab Midland Railway 115 Class LSWR M7 class GNR Class J13 Armstrong Whitworth GCR Class 8K LMS Fowler Class 4F LNWR G Class LSWR 0298 Class NBR C Class LSWR N15 class BR Standard Class 7 British Rail Class 71 British Rail Class 41 (HST) British Rail Class 84 British Rail Class 87 British Rail Class 76 GCR Class 11F GER Class T26 GNR Class J13 GNR Large boiler Class C1 GNR Class C1 (Klondyke) GWR 2301 Class GWR 9400 Class GWR Star Class GWR Iron Duke Class GWR 3700 Class GWR 4000 Class GWR 6000 Class L&YR Class 5 LB&SCR B1 class LMS Hughes Crab LMS 3-Cylindered Stanier 2-6-4T LMS Coronation Class GER Class G58 NER Class T3 LNER Class V2 LNER Gresley Classes A1 and A3 LNER Class A4 South Devon Railway 0-4-0 locomotives LNWR Improved Precedent Class LSWR M7 class LSWR T9 class LSWR T3 class LT&SR 79 Class Midland Railway 156 Class Midland Railway 115 Class Midland Railway 1000 Class NER 1001 Class NER 1463 Class NER 901 Class NER 901 Class British Rail Class ES1 Taff Vale Railway O1 class London Post Office Railway 1930 Stock SECR D class GNR Class J13 SR Q1 class SR V Schools class SR Lord Nelson class Taff Vale Railway O1 class GER Class S56 Locos Furness Railway No. 3 - definitely needs expanding BR 35029 Ellerman Lines 0-4-0ST No. 2 Bauxite LNWR 2-2-2 3020 Cornwall Agenoria Puffing Billy (locomotive) Others National Coal Board - expand to a new loco activities page?
