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

Rail transport
Operations
Stations
Trains
Locomotives
Rolling stock
History
History by country
Terminology
By country
Accidents

Modelling

template be transferred to the ==See also== of the relevant articles. Peter Horn 21:17, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Template placement

Links templates are best placed in the "See also" section. SilkTork 22:29, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

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)
