CONTENTS LIST for ALL ISSUES of the LOCOMOTIVE MAGAZINE 1896 to 1923 (From No CONTENTS LIST FOR ALL ISSUES OF THE LOCOMOTIVE MAGAZINE 1896 to 1923 (from No. 1 Volume 1 to No. 376 Volume 29) It appeared monthly except during 1903 when it came out each week. In 1896 the publication was called Moore’s Monthly Magazine. Please note that only the main items are listed here, but it is hoped they will prove sufficient for you to choose the issue you wish to browse. The editing has been subjective, concentrating on items that were judged to be of the greatest general interest. Railways of Britain and Ireland have been given preference, but plenty of the more distant ones do still feature. If you want to know all the small paragraphs that were included, you will need to consult the full index to every volume, which appears as the file ‘All the Indexes’ on DVD1. The magazine occasionally included a coloured plate or a supplement. These did not always stay with that copy and so were sometimes missing in the ones we had available to scan. If they were present they are featured in the files, but of course if they were not there we were unable to scan what we did not have. The contents list is word-searchable. Some of the railways are identified by their abbreviations as given below, and for those ones that is precisely what you must search for. To see what is available for others you should enter a key word – for the Wrexham, Mold and Connor’s Quay Railway, for instance, look for just ‘Wrexham’ or ‘Mold’. It is not recommended that you look for ‘Connor’s’, though, because if it has been written ‘Connors’ without the apostrophe you won’t find it. CdF – Chemin de Fer CPR – Canadian Pacific Railway ECR – Eastern Counties Railway G&SWR – Glasgow and South Western Railway GCR – Great Central Railway GER – Great Eastern Railway GNoSR – Great North of Scotland Railway GNR – Great Northern Railway GNR(I) – Great Northern Railway (Ireland) GS&WR – Great Southern and Western Railway (of Ireland) GWR – Great Western Railway IoWCR – Isle of Wight Central Railway L&NWR – London and North Western Railway L&SWR – London and South Western Railway L&YR – Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway LB&SCR – London Brighton and South Coast Railway LC&DR – London Chatham and Dover Railway LD&ECR – Lancashire Derby and East Coast Railway LT&SR – London Tilbury and Southend Railway M&GNJR – Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway M&SWJR – Midland and South Western Junction Railway MDR – Metropolitan District Railway MGWR – Midland Great Western Railway of Ireland MR - Midland Railway MS&LR – Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway NBR – North British Railway NER – North Eastern Railway NLR – North London Railway S&DJR – Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway S&MJR – Stratford and Midland Junction Railway SE&CR – South Eastern and Chatham Railway SER – South Eastern Railway Others such as the Caledonian Railway and the Cambrian Railway are written in full.

  • Railways List
    A guide and list to a collection of Historic Railway Documents www.railarchive.org.uk to e mail click here December 2017 1 Since July 1971, this private collection of printed railway documents from pre grouping and pre nationalisation railway companies based in the UK; has sought to expand it‟s collection with the aim of obtaining a printed sample from each independent railway company which operated (or obtained it‟s act of parliament and started construction). There were over 1,500 such companies and to date the Rail Archive has sourced samples from over 800 of these companies. Early in 2001 the collection needed to be assessed for insurance purposes to identify a suitable premium. The premium cost was significant enough to warrant a more secure and sustainable future for the collection. In 2002 The Rail Archive was set up with the following objectives: secure an on-going future for the collection in a public institution reduce the insurance premium continue to add to the collection add a private collection of railway photographs from 1970‟s onwards provide a public access facility promote the collection ensure that the collection remains together in perpetuity where practical ensure that sufficient finances were in place to achieve to above objectives The archive is now retained by The Bodleian Library in Oxford to deliver the above objectives. This guide which gives details of paperwork in the collection and a list of railway companies from which material is wanted. The aim is to collect an item of printed paperwork from each UK railway company ever opened.

    ARMAMENTS FIRMS, THE STATE PROCUREMENT SYSTEM, AND THE NAVAL INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX IN EDWARDIAN BRITAIN Professor Roger Lloyd-Jones History Department, Sheffield Hallam University Dr. Myrddin John Lewis History Department, Sheffield Hallam University This article examines the relationship between Britain’s armament firms and the state’s procurement system, presenting a case for a Naval Industrial Complex (NIC) in the years immediately before the Great War. It argues that in Edwardian Britain a nuanced set of institutional networks were established between the Admiralty and a small elite group of armament manufacturers. The NIC demonstrates the close collaboration between the armament firms supplying the Admiralty and between the Admiralty and an elite group of private contractors. This article concludes that the NIC did not lead to profiteering by contactors, and they did supply the warships and naval ordnance that enabled Britain to out build Germany in the naval race. This paper examines the relationship in Britain between the armaments industry and the military institutions of the state during the years preceding the Great War, when there were intensifying international tensions, and concerns over Britain’s defense capabilities. Through an assessment of the War Office (WO) and Admiralty procurement system, we apply John Kenneth Galbraith’s theory that businesses may establish institutional networks as “countervailing powers” to mediate business-state relations and, thus, we challenge the proposition that the state acted as a “monopsonist,” dominating contractual relations with private armaments firms.’ We argue that during the years prior to the war, Britain’s Naval Industrial Complex (MC) involved a strengthening collaboration between the British Admiralty and the big armament firms.

    > g s J> ° "^ Q as : F7 lA-dh-**^) THE EVOLUTION OF THE STEAM LOCOMOTIVE (1803 to 1898.) BY Q. A. SEKON, Editor of the "Railway Magazine" and "Hallway Year Book, Author of "A History of the Great Western Railway," *•., 4*. SECOND EDITION (Enlarged). £on&on THE RAILWAY PUBLISHING CO., Ltd., 79 and 80, Temple Chambers, Temple Avenue, E.C. 1899. T3 in PKEFACE TO SECOND EDITION. When, ten days ago, the first copy of the " Evolution of the Steam Locomotive" was ready for sale, I did not expect to be called upon to write a preface for a new edition before 240 hours had expired. The author cannot but be gratified to know that the whole of the extremely large first edition was exhausted practically upon publication, and since many would-be readers are still unsupplied, the demand for another edition is pressing. Under these circumstances but slight modifications have been made in the original text, although additional particulars and illustrations have been inserted in the new edition. The new matter relates to the locomotives of the North Staffordshire, London., Tilbury, and Southend, Great Western, and London and North Western Railways. I sincerely thank the many correspondents who, in the few days that have elapsed since the publication: of the "Evolution of the , Steam Locomotive," have so readily assured me of - their hearty appreciation of the book. rj .;! G. A. SEKON. -! January, 1899. PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION. In connection with the marvellous growth of our railway system there is nothing of so paramount importance and interest as the evolution of the locomotive steam engine.
