Scope

We have to decide whether we are talking about modern steam locomotives or modern steam technology in general. At the moment, this is not abundantly clear.--John of Paris (talk) 02:39, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lead paragraph

The final sentence of the lead paragraph is confusing. Does it refer to 'modern steam' engines in general, or Porta's railway locomotives specifically?

Also, where does the term 'modern steam' originate, and how should it be capitalised/puntuated? I can see scope for misunderstanding (eg "modern steam power plant", a steam power plant that is modern (whatever that implies!) vs "'modern steam' power plant" (eg), being a power plant that incorporates 'modern steam' principles and technology. Or am I reading too much into this?
