Locomotives Designed and Built at Horwich, with Some Results
JULY 1909. LOCOMOTIVES DESIGNED AND BUILT AT HORWICH, WITH SOME RESULTS. - BY MR. GEORGE HUGHES, Member, CHIEF MECHANICALENGINEER, LAKCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRERAILWAY, HORWICH. Before discussing the desigu and performance of locomotives, the critic must have some knowledge of the railway upon which they run, and the nature of the work they perform. Particulars will be found by referring to the Appendices (pages 598-620), and the subjoined diagram Fig. 1 (page 5621, and statement, which give the power and weight of the various locomotives operating this traffic. The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company possess 1,517 locomotives, 1,052 of which have been constructed at Horwich, and there are about 1,100 engines in steam daily, varying, of course, according to the demands of the traffic. When the works at Horwich were opened, the company had 1,000 engines, namely, 353 passenger, and 647 goods. There were 29 different types of passenger-engines, and 26 types of goods- engines. Realizing the great importance of having as few classes as possible, Mr. Aspinall, then Chief Mechanical Engineer, resolved to reduce the number, and to introduce standardization, and, wherever possible, interchangeabilit) .

Senedd Petition Response 17:02:20
Lôn Las Môn For the attention of Mr Ross Davies Dirprwy Glerc, Y Pwyllgor Deisebau, Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru Deputy Clerk, Petitions Committee, National Assembly for Wales P-05-913 - Pwyllgor Deisebau 21.01.20 / Petitions Committee 21.01.20 Date 17th February 2020 Dear Sirs, Madam We would like to respond as follows to the letters & enclosures from Isle of Anglesey Council & Mr Ken Skates AM as follows: 1. Letters from Isle of Anglesey Chief Executive Annwen Morgan, Huw Percy Head of Highways are rather disappointing as they do not even offer an opinion as to the merits or not of the creation of a Multiuse Path across the island & the potential benefits it could bring, from health, fitness, disabled & adaptive cycling & many other uses other than just tourism, which at best the Heritage Railway can only offer a very narrow benefit to the island. It is rather at odds that the Anglesey Local Access Forum (a subcommittee of the Council) who we presented our scheme to in November which gave Lôn Las Môn a unanimous vote of approval. As have three Community Councils along its route. As this is a scheme to be run by Lôn Las Môn CIC, we are not looking for Isle of Anglesey to run or manage the project, we just need their support and not to oppose clearly what would be a benefit to the island and a whole. 2. We are aware of the consultation between Network Rail & the Welsh Government on the proposed lease of the railway in June 2016 with an associated 3 month rolling termination provision. -

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. -

Compounding and Superheating in Horwich Locomotives
M.\RCH 1910. 399 COMPOUNDING AND SUPERHEATING IN HORWICH LOCOMOTIVES. BY MR. GEORGE HUGHES, Member. CHIEFMECTI~NICAL EXGINEER, LANCASHIRE AND YORESHIRERAILWAY, HORWICH. When using the diagrams, tables, and illustrations given in this Paper it should be remembered that the Lancashire and Yorkshire Rail way is made up of severe gradients, numerous junctions, many goods depots and sidings, and that it runs through a very thickly populated district, consequently, with densc traffic, it is extremely difficult to operate. COMPOUNDING. For many years the compounding of locomotives has been a siibjcct of controversy, and to-day opinions are divided. Even a very important element, the ratios of volume of the high and loa-pressure cplinders, is debatable, for we find them as low a5 1 to 1.69, and as high as 1 to 3, and even more. It appears to the autlior, when comparing the area of a simple engine cylinder with that of the low pressure of a compound, if the back-pressure on the low-pressure piston iR not proportionatdy lower than in the Downloaded from pme.sagepub.com at UNIV NEBRASKA LIBRARIES on June 4, 2016 400 ('OXPOGNDING ATZD SUPERHEATING. ~IAI:CHl!ll(J. simple engine, it is better not to over-cylinder a compound on the low-pressure side. The question of boiler pressures is another point upon which much diversity of opinion exists, as pressures varying from 140 to 230 lb. per square inch are in use, or have been tried. On tbis point, the author considers that steam-pressure should not be raised simply for compounding, because per se this produces greater efficiency at the cost of increased boiler maintenance. -

file IL COMBO v2 for PDF.doc updated 13-12-2006 THE INDUSTRIAL LOCOMOTIVE The Quarterly Journal of THE INDUSTRIAL LOCOMOTIVE SOCIETY COMBINED INDEX of Volumes 1 to 7 1976 – 1996 IL No.1 to No.79 PROVISIONAL EDITION www.industrial-loco.org.uk IL COMBO v2 for PDF.doc updated 13-12-2006 INTRODUCTION and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This “Combo Index” has been assembled by combining the contents of the separate indexes originally created, for each individual volume, over a period of almost 30 years by a number of different people each using different approaches and methods. The first three volume indexes were produced on typewriters, though subsequent issues were produced by computers, and happily digital files had been preserved for these apart from one section of one index. It has therefore been necessary to create digital versions of 3 original indexes using “Optical Character Recognition” (OCR), which has not proved easy due to the relatively poor print, and extremely small text (font) size, of some of the indexes in particular. Thus the OCR results have required extensive proof-reading. Very fortunately, a team of volunteers to assist in the project was recruited from the membership of the Society, and grateful thanks are undoubtedly due to the major players in this exercise – Paul Burkhalter, John Hill, John Hutchings, Frank Jux, John Maddox and Robin Simmonds – with a special thankyou to Russell Wear, current Editor of "IL" and Chairman of the Society, who has both helped and given encouragement to the project in a myraid of different ways. None of this would have been possible but for the efforts of those who compiled the original individual indexes – Frank Jux, Ian Lloyd, (the late) James Lowe, John Scotford, and John Wood – and to the volume index print preparers such as Roger Hateley, who set a new level of presentation which is standing the test of time. -
The Bustling Alexander
The Bustling Alexander by Les Gilpin Reproduced from “Cumbrian Railways” Vol 4 No 6 October 1989 by kind permission of the author In Cumbrian Railways, Vol 3, No 15, I told the story of John Brogden, his rise in the business world and his place in Cumbrian railway history. His second son, Alexander, also played his part in the county’s industrial and railway history. Alexander Brogden (Alex to the family and friends) was born on 3rd November 1825 in Manchester. After early education with Mr Hoole of Blackburn and at the New College in Manchester, he went on to study at Kings College, London. Here he obtained a first prize in mathematics. He had intended to follow a career at the Bar but, after spending his spare time away from college looking after the books in his father’s London office, he became a partner in the family firm of John Brogden & Sons. The original partners, at its establishment in 1846, were John (the father), John junior, Alexander and Henry (the sons). Alex’s early responsibilities largely involved the supervision of the company’s railway construction contracts. These are known to have included the Altrincham branch of the Manchester South Junction & Altrincham Railway, the Ashton branch of the LNWR and sections of the East Lancashire Railway around Accrington. His move into railway management took place in 1850. In that year John Robinson McClean, the engineer, leased the South Staffordshire Railway. O.P. Neele, who worked on this line, commented in his autobiography “Railway Reminiscences” that soon after the McClean takeover John Brogden, together with two of his sons, appeared at the company offices in Walsall. -

In a statement issued on October 29, the venue said: “In accordance with the French government’s directives, Drouot closes tonight until further notice. We will keep you informed as soon as possible of the auctions calendar.” More than 60 auction houses use the Drouot facilities to host sales. Many will now be moving their sales online. A Drouot spokesperson told ATG: “At the moment, auction houses are sorting themselves out. The majority of sales will go ahead and will take place remotely online via Drouot Digital.” Macron announced this latest lockdown will run until at least December 1.
