[edit] Too many links now

This template is getting way too long to be usable. It was originally designed to link to the core topics as were defined in Wikipedia:WikiProject Trains, and I think we should go back to that revision for brevity. Interested readers can explore the links within the articles. Slambo (Speak) 19:57, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Slambo, I agree its a little unwieldy. I'd be in favor of removing the following links:

• Push-pull trains
• Cab car
• Driving Van Trailer
• Double decker train
• Terminology (appears twice, only needs to be there once)

these seem to be the more obscure topics. Gwernol 20:07, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

I would suggest also getting rid of

• Terminal stations (a subtopic of stations)
• Tilting trains (a subtopic of trains)
• The second instance of "Passenger cars"
• Railway coach (links to a five-line paragraph of Coach article)

... In fact, just revert back to the beginning of February. Henning Makholm 22:13, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Seeing more agreement than dissent, I shortened the template back to just the core topics that were defined in the Trains WikiProject. Slambo (Speak) 17:04, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

So, let the items deleted from the {| class="infobox" style="text-align: center;"

[edit] Template placement

[edit] Picture?

What the f*** is this picture supposed to mean? This is not r*****.com here! 91.66.220.154 (talk) 09:52, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

The three track image was chosen originally because it is generic and does not favor any particular system or nation. Slambo (Speak) 10:18, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

The picture is really bad. Cant see tracks in the small icon at all. Lets chose simple track to display.--Kozuch (talk) 16:46, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

They appear properly on my 1440x900 resolution monitor. Do you have another image in mind? Slambo (Speak) 14:06, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
