Talk:Cyldon

Is it actually "Cyldon"?

Should we move the article to Cyldon and create a redirect to it from here? --Ronz (talk) 15:59, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Sources?

There appears to be little or no existing documentation concerning Cyldon. A Google search comes up with this site and links to several private collectors' web sites (including my own) but nothing else. A search on the BL web site comes up with nothing atall!

The sentence "Cyldon was the brand name for a range of model stationary steam engines, manufactured in Enfield, Middlesex, England between 1947 and 1951 by Sydney S Bird & Sons." or something very close to it appears in many web sites and is probably quoted from a common source (maybe this article). Virtually all other information in the various web sites appears to be descrioptions of examples owned by collectors.

Models

I have written descriptions in my web site of the examples I own (13/2, 13/3, 13/5), which I have repeated here (suitably shortened in places). I don't have examples of 13/1 or 13/4 in my collection so I can't so the same for those. I could quote informationm from others' web sites but I don't like to do that without the owners' permissions.

I've added description and photo of the 13/1. The only one missing is now the 13/4. I still don't have one of these (yet). Any volunteers? ... Roly (talk) 10:28, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

I've now added description of 13/4 :-) Roly (talk) 08:23, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
