I was watching Fawlty Towers as I finished the infobox, which might have had something to do with that choice.
Coming up next week. I'm working on their infobox right now.
I just make a draft one on real wikipedia and then take a screenshot. It's a bit annoying because if I notice a mistake later on I have to recreate the whole thing again but it works
The post on Armstrong Whitworth has some interesting implications on the state of public transportation infrastructure and the railway manufacturing sector. And Bombardier likewise appears to be out of that sector (good news for Torontonians and New Yorkers). Does AW compete with the likes of Siemens and Alstom, or their equivalents in the timeline?
I've not fully worked out the entirety of the international railway manufacturing sector but it would roughly work out as being dominated by AW, Alstom (or an equivalent under a different name), 1-3 Chinese companies (who are, in practice, owned and controlled by Commonwealth individuals and companies for the most part), 1-3 American companies (Americans are better at public transport TTL owing to the different way that Reconstruction and the Panic of 1873 work out) and maybe an Italian company too. German companies like Siemens aren't major players because they will have been stripped for parts some time in the 1940s by the Allies. (They might still exist as legacy companies or in some much smaller, localised form but that's not terribly important at this level.)
Infobox on GEC is coming this weekend. Then we’ll be doing the Commonwealth car industry next week, then finance the week after that, then tech.
