Merge MaK G1206 article ?

Another article about this locomotive series exists as MaK G 1206. As the MaK and Vossloh G1206 are exactly the same locomotive type (apart from a few cosmetic changes throughout the years, and different engine types), why a second page should exist ? I propose to merge the MaK article into this article, as more articles link to the Vossloh article than the MaK article.. -- Btrs ( talk) 15:17, 5 October 2008 (UTC) reply

Fleet summary/operators

Suggesting converting to table form...

Also intending to remove individual loco information - too much info...

Any comments/suggestions? Carrolljon ( talk) 17:21, 24 January 2009 (UTC) reply

Go for it, I created most of the article, but agree it is unwieldy and while more info is good, as you can see I ran out of steam (diesel?) so it is a bit unbalanced. Talltim ( talk) 13:13, 26 January 2009 (UTC) reply
ok I'm getting round to it in the next few days.
One problem is that the leasing companies hire them out for short periods - one angel trains g1206 had 3 different operators in 1 year!
As such it's practically impossible to deal with the fleet details in .. detail. (it would run to many pages)
Nevertheless I have a plan.
I'll leave you a message when I've finished on the article - hopefully you will find it an improvement.
Best wishes. Carrolljon ( talk) 14:04, 26 January 2009 (UTC) reply
