Yep, there is no reason why the 2 can't work side by side
UK Rail Log will probably start off with more active stuff before expanding into older locos and units that were scrapped years ago - I think it is the best way to do it as most people will want a resource like this for assistance with stuff they might see on an outing. I think the units section will be of particular interest (seemed to be quite popular on Abrail) but I wanted to get the locos up first.
Anyway, I have spent today working on the more cosmetic features of the site. I have now added a notes section to record any changes to a particular loco so check that out and let me know if it is a welcome addition or not and I have updated the layout of the mobile website for those who might access it via their mobile. Should be more user friendly now and all headers should be in the correct place! Final thing I have done today is to add all of the 'Previous Numbers' for the class 37 (along with a few depot amendments and the addition of the name on 37418 which it has recently regained). I may spend an hour or so later getting the next section of data input as well.
My plan is to create news pages or something similar to detail both changes to the website and changes I come across to locos/units and also look to add a form to enable people to submit any changes they may notice - I will probably do this on a submit and second basis (ie person A submits the change but it only gets changed on the website if person B comes along to second it - basically a way to stop people from submitting bogus information).
