Event roundup: The Bluebell Railway’s 2019 season of special events kicked off with a 3-day Branch Line event on 15th – 17th March. The event came earlier in the calendar this year, but despite ‘mixed’ weather was very well supported. The Friday proved the most popular day and indeed provided the unique opportunity to see the cavalcade of no less than 4 ex- L.S.W.R. locomotives in the form of Bluebell residents – Adams Radial 30583 and B4 30096 ‘Normandy’ together with visiting W24 ‘Calbourne’ and Beattie Well Tank 30587. Many thanks go to the Isle of Wight Railway for the loan of ‘Calbourne’ and the National Railway Museum for the loan of the Beattie Well Tank for this event. The other locomotives in steam were resident S.E.C.R. trio of ‘H’ 0-4-4T No. 263, ‘P’ 0-6-0T No.178 and ‘01’ 0-6-0 No. 65, plus S.R. ‘Q’ 0-6-0 No. 30541. The Adams Radial which earlier in the year underwent a repaint from LSWR green for the first time since 1983 to British Railways lined black – looked resplendent in her new livery and was much photographed whilst on static display at Horsted Keynes following movement up from Sheffield Park as part of the cavalcade.

We have Part 1 of Andy Robert’s trip to Sardinia in May, and a swathe of book reviews, including a very comprehensive piece by Roger Hepworth. Hopefully we can get Roger to write more articles for us. Also, we are indebted to Ben Burrows, as he regularly sends me snippets – sometimes there just isn’t the space to include them, but this time I’ve trawled through some old notes and we have a very interesting collection of “bits”. Peter Mann provides an article reminding us that it is 30 years since Michael Portillo reprieved the S&C line (Editor’s apologies for not including this in the last issue). Also, Reminiscences from Bob Watson, and photos from Michael Leahy – it all adds up to a bumper edition. Keep it going, all of you!! No more Thomas Cooks tours – the company has gone into administration. What a sad end for a “national treasure” that was founded in the early days of railways and was so closely associated with railways for all its life (and for all our lives).

  • The Newsletter of the West Somerset Railway September 2018
    Online Newsletter September 2018 THE NEWSLETTER OF THE WEST SOMERSET RAILWAY SEPTEMBER 2018 THE NEWSLETTER OF THE WEST SOMERSET RAILWAY AND ASSOCIATED ORGANISATIONS. THANK YOU To everyone who has worked on the Railway during the August period when we have run an intensive timetable on a daily basis, as well as coping with excursion traffic from the mainline network and various specials including dining trains and attachments of the Hawksworth Saloon to special trains. There have “tight spots” for the hard-working roster clerks but the spirit of co-operation and helping each other has meant that we have run the advertised services and provided a good day out for the travelling public. And with many of the British public deciding during the long hot spell to holiday at home this year we have been busy. NEW VOLUNTEERS However there is no denying that we need more willing hands in all areas of the Railway. Alan Smithers is now Acting Stationmaster at Minehead and we welcome Alan to that key role but he has places and roles to fill. That is a tale that can be repeated in many areas. We have some good looking new Volunteer Recruitment leaflets available but we have to find ways of getting them into the public view and to possibly interested groups. So if you have contacts with a youth group or a U3A, a WI or Rotary Club please ask Minehead for a supply of them They may also be profitably placed in libraries or local shops. One thing is certain. Publicity materials in storage are dead paper and represent wasted money.

    Science Museum Group Journal Uncovering the secrets of Canadian Pacific Journal ISSN number: 2054-5770 This article was written by Becky Peacock 11-10-2018 Cite as 10.15180; 181010 Research Uncovering the secrets of Canadian Pacific Published in Autumn 2018, Issue 10 Article DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15180/181010 Abstract Canadian Pacific is known as being the oldest and fastest surviving Merchant Navy class locomotive in preservation, but she hides a secret: she was built in 1941 at Eastleigh Works, Hampshire, where about half of the workforce were female. While she now stands as a testament of the work of these female engineers who were employed on the railway during the Second World War, their achievements wouldn’t have been possible without the long history of women working on the railway as early as 1840. The First World War opened up the opportunities available to women on the railway, throwing them into areas previously only occupied by men. Women fought prejudice to show that they were capable workers in the fields that were opened to them, but it all came to an end in peacetime when women were forced back into ‘female’ jobs. The Second World War again brought about change, with women being employed in more roles than ever before. Component DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15180/181010/001 Keywords Railway, First World War, Second World War, Southern Railway, London and South Western Railway, Locomotive, Canadian Pacific, Merchant Navy, Women, Railwaywomen, Eastleigh Works, Hampshire, Engineering Introduction Railways have long been the domain of men. There is an understanding among historians that women only trespassed into this domain in the early twentieth century with the onset of war.
