Cleanup

The 4th paragraph of the history seems completely out of line with the rest of the history section :"In December 1989..." Probably 1992-3? In any case, I didn't find the corresponding dates on the German Wikipedia page, and I speak enough German to understand most of the article. Hayazin (talk) 19:54, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

This article looks like a very rough (machine?) translation from German, and needs a lot of cleanup for be a good English-language article. —LrdChaos 17:47, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

I'd agree - and a worse translator even than Google Translate. Especially on technical terms. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 07:39, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

New translation started, with additional material. First three sections done anonymously; I have since created an account, and will do the rest while logged in. --Concertmusic 01:24, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

The section on the Brühl accident is not quite correct. Better information can be found in German Wikipedia. I'll eventually try to correct that section. SVT137 (talk) 20:39, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Images removed from "bogies" section

I've taken out the two images from the Bogies section of the article. It's virtually imposible to make out any detail on thumbnail-sized versions, and it isn't much better with the larger-sized images. This is what I removed:

[[Image:DBAG 101 Drehgestell.jpg|thumb|Drehgestell der Baureihe 101 mit großen Rädern und kurzem Radsatzabstand]]

[[Image:DBAG ICE 1 Drehgestell Triebkopf.jpg|thumb|Drehgestell des [[DB Baureihe 401|ICE 1]] mit dem größeren Radsatzabstand und den kleineren Rädern]]

Cleanup

I tried doing some copyediting on a couple of sections, but I soon realized that I needed either more expertise with trains or to be fluent in German to continue. This page is a rough translation from the german WP page on this subject and needs the attention of a translator before it can be copyeditied. Tony P 00:52, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Torque unite

Motor torque is listed a Kilojoules. SI torque unit is the Newton-Metre. Joules ( one newton moving its point of application) is reserved for Energy, for torque it is a force tangential to a circle of one metre centred on the point of rotation and does not involve energy. 31.94.71.41 (talk) 12:48, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Dimensionally they're the same thing (a Joule is a Newton.metre). So just change the labelling. But I'd be more concerned, generally through this article, about the lack of sourcing. Andy Dingley (talk) 13:01, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
