Novelty (locomotive) was a good article, but it was removed from the list as it no longer met the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. If you can improve it, please do; it may then be renominated.
Review: May 23, 2007.

Untitled[edit]

"Only the wheels under the firebox (those to the left on the illustration here) were driven, the other wheels were not connected to the drive in any way." However, there are two drawings which are facing opposite directions. I guess this refers to the first one? This should be made clear. SpaceCaptain 15:32, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This problem recurs throughout the description. Have removed the second drawing, as it confuses matters (and does not show anything not in the first drawing). -- Picapica 09:20, 9 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

"No other" claim[edit]

I don't quite follow the "no other locos built this way" claim. As described it appears to be very similar to the "Tom Thumb (locomotive)" and some other early Baltimore and Ohio Railroad locomotives. For now, I've qualified the statement to reflect a British context. Mangoe 16:51, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tom Thumb uses a simple vertical boiler whereas Novelty's boiler has a horizontal shell containing the fire tubes. They are really very different designs, Novelty's is in fact very much closer to standard locomotive practice than to vertical practice. Martin of Sheffield (talk) 13:20, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
