Initial comments
[edit]- I'm sorry for the delay in getting to this point. By now I have read through the article once. It appears to be comprehensive, well-illustrated and well-referenced (but I've not checked the references yet). So its probably at or near GA-quality.
- I'm now working my way through the sections, but leaving the WP:Lead until last. As such, I will mostly/only highlighting "problems". So if I don't say anything here about a particular section/subsection, that possibly means that I regard it as OK: however, I will provide a summary at the end.

- History -
Pyrotec (talk) - That first paragraph needs at leat one more date. F. Nelson Blount is named, he wrote a book at 17 (OK so far); he acquired Edaville Railroad (when ?) and by 1964 part of his collection was housed at ....." The rest of the paragraph and the following paragraph back-tracks (sorry, not intended as pun) from early 1960s, 1962, later, and then 1964, so I presume it predates those dates, but its not clear when it all started.
- for some reason this didn't show up on my watchlist, but I found it anyway. I improved that paragraph. The collection was "housed at North Walpole NH, and called the Monadnock, Steamtown & Northern RR", which I hope is clearer now. Thanks. I almost quit Wikipedia today, but I'm feeling a bit better now.Just tell me what you don't like and I will fix it, no big deal.--Ishtar456 (talk) 02:15, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks. It will probably take me another day or so: I have five reviews in progress (three On Hold). I'm sorry to hear that you nearly quit, I've reviewed at least one of your nominations before - David Carradine - and it passed (and so will this one). Pyrotec (talk) 19:09, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
