Dimensions

The dimensions in the lead paragraph and in the infobox disagree. I'll see what I can do about verifying these, but something's off there. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 16:28, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed mergers

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was Merge. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 20:33, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am proposing that both EMD GP15T and EMD GP15AC be merged into this article. Both are stubs with very limited sources, and as this page states, "EMD GP15AC and EMD GP15T (are) extremely similar locomotives of the same class from the same time period." It would make more sense to merge them to this article, as they are simply very similar variants. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 02:19, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Agree as so few of each sub-type were produced. With the GP15T/GP15AC sharing a lot of commonality with the GP15-1 those articles being a part of it will improve the GP15-1 article as well. FullScale4Me (talk) 03:54, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support - The EMD GP15 should be merged with the articles for its variants. Since they are quite similar and the other articles are really barebones. Green Shy Guy 54 (talk) 14:19, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Removed "See also"

I removed the "See also" section. It linked only to the EMD G16 (aka Victorian Railways X class (diesel)) but I can see no connection between these two locomotive types, other than that they were built by EMD.

The GP15-1 is a four-axle locomotive on a ~54ft frame, built in the USA in 1976-1983, with a 1500hp 8- or 12-cylinder 645-series engine. The G16/X class is a six axle locomotive on a ~60ft frame, many built under license outside the US, between 1958 and 1976, with a 1800hp 16-cylinder 567-series engine (except the last of the X-class had 16-cylinder 645-series engines). Completely different locomotive.
