early data
Can we have more information about the pre-refurbished versions? This should include the original orange ends of the trains, carpeted floors, the lack of windows between carriages, old seating with tartan cushions and beige walls.
Refurbishement
Maybe add a photo of the interior of a Comeng prior to its refurbishment. Yellow Thirteen 14:17, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Missing height description
Where did the height description of the Comeng train go? It was described to have been 3835 mm high (excluding pantograph). That information was there along with the width and the length specifications but now it's gone when the specifications table beneath the image was rearranged. Can we have it restored there? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cyberencyclopedia (talk • contribs) 1 December 2007
- Fixed :)

Thank you Jb17kx for adding the height specification, also I would like to know if the 3835 mm of height refer from the ground level that is the bottom of the train wheels to the top of the train car or is it 3835 mm from the floor of the car people step on inside to the top of the car. Just to be sure, I thank you for your reply.

- Height of a railcar is customarily given from the railhead - so from the point where the wheel touches the rail, excluding the flange.

What/where is North Shore?
It sounds like Sydney. Is it part of the Victorian rail network? HiLo48 (talk) 05:08, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

Retirement section
Almost the entire section is unsourced. I propose removing the entire section, and replacing it with just some general information such as “Since YEAR, Comeng trains have progressively been removed from service and retired.(citation) Etc etc etc.” Wikipedia is not a source of news nor is it a place for original research. See Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, WP:NOTNEWS and WP:NOR. Specific carriage details belong on rail enthusiast websites, blogs and Facebook groups. Fork99 (talk) 06:20, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
- I second this, we definitely don't need to know when specific sets were withdrawn (VicSig has us covered). The extra Evette section could also be removed as its discussed in the retirement section TrainFreak125 (talk) 12:03, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
Requested move 17 March 2026

Comeng (train) → ComengComeng → Comeng (company)

- I don't understand this amended proposal. It creates no distinction between the company and this train, leading readers to be confused which article they will be looking at based on the title. Qwerty123M (talk) 22:34, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
- Oppose: while I appreciate the citation of the primary source guideline; this train operates in one state only while the company Comeng has a much larger presence in Australian railway history as it operated nationally and created some iconic vehicles so it has more long-term significance. Moving the page to not use a disambiguation implies that this train is the only thing that Comeng did, which is very far from the truth. Remember that primary topics are not determined by what comes first to your mind per WP:NWFCTM. Qwerty123M (talk) 10:58, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
- Oppose per above. XtraJovial (talk • contribs) 15:57, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
- The company has already been moved and there doesn't appear to be a primary topic so just create a DAB at the base name. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:32, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
- WP:ONEOTHER states that a disambiguation page is not usually a good idea for disambiguation where there are only two topics to choose from, in that case a hatnote on both articles would suffice. Qwerty123M (talk) 21:37, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
- Oppose, Comeng was the trading name of Commonwealth Engineering from the end of World War II until it cessation. It's what it was universally referred to with all of its products carrying builders plates that reflected this. The Comeng (train) was just one of many of its products. Creijpink (talk) 23:40, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
- Oppose the name of this article is fine as it is. It can be very confusing if this just moves to 'Comeng', this isn't the only product Commonwealth Engineering made. PEPSI697 (💬) (📝) 06:43, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
- Nominator comment
- I have realised my original proposal doesn't make much sense.
- Commonwealth Engineering will stay where it is. In the original request I was supposed to put the full company name in there but I accidently put in the wrong name.
- After reading your comments, Comeng (train) would actually make more sense to stay where it is right now. I can see how it would just cause more confusion.
