Photo: Mervyn Allcock New Technology on Test Opening On 31st March, shortly after the Roundhouse - like the rest of the Shot... country - had gone into lockdown, Railview (a railway research company which uses Barrow Hill for testing) undertook filming of its latest prototype technology, mounted on a Mercedes Unimog road rail vehicle. This filming was obviously subject to social distancing requirements and risk assessments were undertaken prior to it taking place. The video that was created from this activity then formed the basis of an online webinar and Q&A session on 23rd April with representatives of the railway industry including Network Rail, a potential user of this technology. This shot was captured just before the class 08 was loaded for onward transit to a HNRC contract; it is pictured here with class 45 45060 and class 47 47769.

    BTK 3669 to become a theatre Those of you who study every word of Moors Line will have noticed on page 63 of Issue 191 that it is planned to use a 1930’s carriage during Wartime Weekend to perform a play called ‘Bomb Happy’. The carriage in question is of course BTK3669, whose brake van area has been deemed suitable to be used as a small theatre. The owners of BTK3669 are delighted that it is going to be used for this purpose, as it is another opportunity to raise the profile of the Association. A Puzzle Picture Dave Cullingworth recently spotted a print of the photo below of a Howlden ECJS or GN clerestory coach, photographed in its later years as departmental No. 961503, for sale on E-bay. It raises some questions—can anyone help with the answers? What is obviously unusual about this coach is that it has had an underframe change -it is on a Gresley angle-trussed underframe with the characteristic clipped-head buffers. It couldn’t have received this earlier than the early 1930s when these were introduced. Why would such an elderly vehicle have a replacement underframe relatively late in its life? Any accident damage sufficient to write off an underframe Newsletter No. 106 August 2016 probably wouldn’t have done the body it carried much good either!

THE 1960's – MEMBERS' FILMS AND PHOTOS by Andrew Linham and John Reakes – 9 January The meeting at Wells Town hall on the 9th January 2018 took the form of contributions from two of our members - both recalling the railway scene of 40 to 50 years ago. First we had the privilege of seeing two cine films made by Andrew Linham which he had laboriously converted into digital format. Many of us had seen the first film before but not in its new format. Andrew explained that when he had made it using a new cine-camera in 1964/65, filming often from the first coach of the train, he always had a tape recorder with him. Much later he found the tapes and, with much skill, in recent years had been able to add the actual sound to many of the scenes which he had filmed. Thanks also to modern technology he had been to enhance the quality of both film and sound. First of all we were taken on a trip over the Cheddar Valley Line and then over the Somerset & Dorset branch from Highbridge to Evercreech Junction. From here we completed our journey over the S&DJR main line via Templecombe to Broadstone Junction and then over the SR on to Bournemouth Central.

  • East Anglia Model Railways in 4Mm Scale
    Modelling the Railways of East Anglia in 4mm scale Paul Goldsmith Issue 7.1 February 2018 Modelling the Railways of East Anglia in 4mm Scale INTRODUCTION The initial aim of this document was to list locomotives and rolling stock that operated on the GER, LNE (E), BR (GE Section) and the privatised railway of East Anglia to date, which have been produced as a “ready–to-run” model or as a model “kit” in 4mm scale; however, over the past 10 years the scope has somewhat expanded. In the 1970s the hobby benefited by the etched brass kit “cottage industry”, with Fred Blackman (Mallard Models) producing the first etched brass loco kit (Class D16/3) and subsequently various kits from the late George Pring (George Allen Models), Dave Phillips (Stelfox Models) and Dan Pinnock (D&S Models), to name but a few. This issue has been expanded to 61 pages and includes for the first time, products from the new “cottage industry” of 3D printed models. The document currently specifically omits locomotives and rolling stock that have appeared solely on diversions from other lines, special workings such as Deltic locomotives, troop train workings off other regions and those that operate on preserved lines. We have also only included only a limited amount of information relevant to the M&GN, GN&GE, LTS and LT/Transport for London lines, together with cross London workings and workings from other lines such as the GN and LNW into Cambridge and March. In time, we may address these issues. In general we have not included manufacturer and supplier addresses as these are readily found at: http://www.ukmodelshops.co.uk and from “the Central London Area Group (CLAG)”: http://www.clag.org.uk and click on the link to supplier.text.
