Talk:L&YR Class 21

"Pug" from the Railway Series

Judging by the illustration, I would say that the engine is not one of these, but instead an LMS Kitson 0-4-0ST from the Stanier era. Should I put the information about Pug in the railway series on the Kitson 0-4-0ST page, and remove it from this one? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Notsoboxy (talk • contribs) 22:49, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Malapropism

The lead paragraph contained a sentence stating “… diameter boiler pressed to 140 lbf/in2 (965 kPa) powering …” I corrected it to “… diameter boiler pressured to 140 lbf/in2 (965 kPa) powering …” and it was reverted. Before I risk an edit war can someone explain how a boiler can be 'pressed'. (Well it can. That's how they make them. But they press at tons/sq in to bend the steel.) Comments please.

"Pressed to" is a term that is commonly used in reputable sources about railway locomotives. "Pressured to" is what you do to coerce somebody to act against their own free will. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 15:49, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

I've never seen it and it makes no sense. Which sources? Perhaps 'Pressured at' is better than 'Pressured to'. Even better is to rewrite the sentence in standard English. OrewaTel (talk) 21:25, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
