4Th January 2021 ISSUE Number 73 ‘Lockdown Three Ahead?’ th WATFORD BRANCH NEWSLETTER Issue Date – 4 January 2021 From the Chairman elcome to this month’s issue of the Watford Branch Newsletter, the first for 2021, though this may be a little W later in the month than usual as this has been a rather busy period with little spare time to devote to the Newsletter…. Your committee hopes that everyone remains safe and well and that you were all able to make the most of Christmas and the New Year celebrations (!?), within the rather strict Covid regulations that had to be introduced at short notice. This meant that almost everybody’s plans for the festive season had to be hastily rearranged with very little warning, unfortunately this may have resulted in many people spending the day on their own, if so, you weren’t the only one! The Covid situation seems to be escalating with the new strain taking the country by storm, the vast majority of England now being in Tier 4 and other parts of the UK back in lockdown, though there seems little difference between Tier 4 and lockdown in any case. It certainly looks like these restrictions, or even stricter ones, may be in place to try and contain the situation until the new vaccines are rolled out to enough people to start to alleviate things – this is going to take a considerable time even if the logistics run relatively smoothly. Accordingly, we will be continuing to hold our monthly branch meetings virtually, via Zoom, as per usual on the first Tuesday of each month, starting with the branch AGM, followed by Rob Freeman’s presentation ‘Gems from the Casserley Photo Collection’, on 5th January. December’s meeting was the traditional ‘Members’ Presentations’ and we certainly had some treats, though we had to supply our own mince pies, sausage rolls and festive drink – at least Lizzie Davidson had an easier time than is usual at this meeting (thanks for her efforts in the past, and hopefully again in the future)! A short report of this meeting should appear soon in the RO and is already posted as the full version on the Watford Branch pages of the RCTS website at: https://rcts.org.uk/watford/meeting-reports/ this also includes a couple of the photos shown by Mike Watson (see below) – thanks to Mike and other presenters for a very entertaining evening. If you are planning to join any of the Zoom meetings, there is now a new way of pre-registering for them, directly on the RCTS website at: https://rcts.org.uk/branches/ and scroll down to ‘Virtual Meetings’ for all branches’ meetings. These also appear on the home page. You will need to be logged-in as a member to access the links, these are also on the relevant branch events page, such as this one on the Watford Branch page: https://rcts.org.uk/watford/events/ If you are already a member but haven’t registered on the site it’s advisable to do so – if you run into any problems, please contact David Jackman at: [email protected] If you are a non-member or visitor you are very welcome to join the meetings – please contact Rob Davidson at [email protected] for details, or the relevant officer of the branch concerned. You may notice that there is now a ‘donations are welcome’ link on the events pages of the branches too – this takes you to a PayPal page where you can donate in units of £2.00 – you do not need to have a PayPal account and other payment options are also available. Any donations go to the branch concerned, via ‘Head Office’, and will help to defray costs, some of which continue even though we cannot have physical meetings, meaning the usual source of donations has dried-up. Thanks to those of you who have already made donations to the branch. A considerable number of branches are now holding their meetings via ‘Zoom’ – this means that on some nights there is a clash and choices have to be made – this is due to most branches continuing to hold their meetings on their traditional night – this was not a concern when meetings were physical in different parts of the country but is becoming something of a problem when anyone from anywhere can join any meeting. If you haven’t joined one of these meetings as yet, perhaps through worries about the technology, there is a simple guide available on the RCTS website (thanks to Jeremy Harrison of the Croydon & South London Branch) which can be accessed at: https://rcts.org.uk/croydon/wp-content/uploads/sites/16/2020/07/Zoom-Simple-Meeting- Instructions_V3.pdf there is no need to be logged-in as a member in order to read this guide.

Many thanks to David Jackman for setting-up and running these meetings on everyone’s behalf. Those of you who have membership subscriptions including the hard copy of the RO should have received January 2021’s issue before Christmas – if you haven’t received it this may indicate that you haven’t renewed your membership as yet. If this is an oversight, you can renew via the website at: https://rcts.org.uk/renew/ Below: Sample Images from Mike Watson’s presentation shown at the December 2020 meeting.

We have the usual mix of articles this month, again mainly from the same few members - if you would like to contribute to future issues, please do get in touch with Geoff Plumb at [email protected] – thanks in anticipation, and thanks to those who have contributed this time once again. Due to time pressures, I have not been able to include the next episode of the 1973 World Steam trip to Java, this will continue next month – with luck! Wishing all our members, visitors and guests the very best for the New Year, let’s hope things improve during 2021 and that everyone remains safe and well!

Page | 2 THE AUSTRALIAN NEW SOUTH WALES XPT, by Rob Freeman As HSTs have been very much in the news recently, having been withdrawn from Great Western and East Coast main line operation, I thought you might like to see some of my photos of the export version, which is also due for replacement. The XPT (Express Passenger Train) is the flagship of the limited long-distance train services that remain in NSW. There are many differences from our own HSTs, the most obvious being the extra equipment (eg for air conditioning) on the roof, making them taller. The power cars-built under licence in Australia- are also 50cm shorter. The Paxman Valenta engine was downrated to 2,000hp(replaced by a Paxman VP185 from the year 2000) and the train has a maximum speed of 160km/h, though there are not many stretches where this can be achieved! On test 193km/h has been achieved (they were aiming for 200!) The Mark 3 coach was not suitable for Australian railway conditions, so the trailers are based on a Budd design. The trains are maintained in Sydney, at Meeks Road depot. There are just 19 power cars numbered XP2000-2018 and sixty trailers, built in batches from 1981-1994. So this means you can’t expect to roll up and see one every few minutes as was the norm in this country! Careful reading of the timetable is necessary when photographing them. Each day there are pairs of services from Sydney ,south to Melbourne, west to Dubbo, north to Brisbane and part-way north to Grafton/Casino. So, the best place to see them for the first time is Sydney Central as all services arrive or start there, but out in the country if you miss one, you will have to come back tomorrow! The train is treated like hauled stock, in that coaches can be added or removed according to demand. When only a few coaches are needed just one power car can be used, though I never witnessed this myself. The power cars were all named after places served by the XPT, but the names have now been removed. And so to some photos: Below: Like our own HSTs, the XPT has carried different liveries over the decades.

  • Volume – 25 Number – 3 September to November 2018 Edition
    Volume – 25 Number – 3 September to November 2018 Edition Steam locomotive 3801 (4-6-2) was operated by the New South Wales Government Railways between 1943 and 1976. It is arguably Australia’s most famous steam locomotive, being the only one to have visited all main line states and territories. The 38 Class numbered 30. The first 5 units, with the streamlined design, were built by Clyde Engineering, Granville, New South Wales. The other 25 units were built, semi-streamlined, at the New South Wales Eveleigh (even numbers) and Cardiff (odd numbers) Locomotive Workshops. 3801 entered service on 22 January 1943 and worked the “Newcastle Flyer” for the first time on 23 February 1943 to express passengers to and from Sydney. 2018 celebrates the 75th anniversary of this iconic steam locomotive.

  • Mortdale Matters
    Welcome to the March-April 2014 edition of Mortdale Matters. It’s great to see younger members around the clubrooms of late; we are keeping our hobby alive and strong for years to come! On some housekeeping matters though, it would be greatly appreciated if we can respect others by talking at a lower voice level; be mindful of what you say; and just respect what people have to say, remembering we are all entitled to an opinion and opinions differ. A job well done to the U-Drive team who attended the 2014 “Thirlmere Festival of Steam”, doing a great job looking after the layout and promoting our association AMRA in NSW. Another top job to the event organisers and THNSW (NSWRTM)! There was lots to do, with a great country culture present. Unfortunately I did not get to have a good look around as I was working as a Passenger Attendant on the Thirlmere Flyer™ to Sydney, luckily I got to hear all about it on the fantastic trip back into town. 24 Hour Run: This year we saw a solid turnout for the 24 hour run, with numbers higher than previous years. Some of the younger members even managed an all-nighter (just!). It was great to see all scales come together, play trains and exchange stories. A big thank you to all the layout sub- committees for organising their layouts and keeping the team spirit high, special thanks to the BBQ crew who cooked breakfast on Saturday morning. April Open Day 2014: To be held on the 5th of April, members are more than welcome to run trains on the layout while guests may run their trains preferably after the event.
