PDF-040-2 Page 2 Great Eastern Railway: The Buses 1904-1922 Having watched with interest as the Great Western Railway and the North Eastern Railway commenced motorbus operations and having visited the G.W.R. and seen the operations for themselves, the Great Eastern Railway decided to apply for powers to operate omnibuses, resulting in the Great Eastern Railway (General Powers) Act of 1904. The act granted them powers to operate omnibuses and to carry mail. The G.W.R. had purchased a number of Milnes-Daimlers and, as there was an inducement of 10% discount if three vehicles were purchased, three were duly ordered. On the 18th July 1904 the three 20 hp Milnes-Daimlers commenced the G.E.R.'s first service between Lowestoft, Kessingland and Southwold. The drivers were recruited from the G.E.R.'s locomotive department and were issued with a navy blue uniform, whilst the conductors (recruited mainly from the G.E.R.'s porters) were issued with a khaki and grey uniform. -

The Steam Locomotive Table, V1
The Steam Locomotive Table, v1 If you’re reading this; you either like steam trains, or want to know more about them. Hopefully, either way, I can scratch your itch with this; a set of randomizer/dice-roll tables of my own making; as inspired by some similar tables for tanks and aircrafts. Bear with me, I know not everyone knows the things I do, and I sure know I don’t know a lot of things other train enthusiasts do; but hopefully the descriptions and examples will be enough to get anyone through this smoothly. To begin, you’ll either want a bunch of dice or any online dice-rolling/number generating site (or just pick at your own whim); and somewhere or something to keep track of the details. These tables will give details of a presumed (roughly) standard steam locomotive. No sentinels or other engines with vertical boilers; no climax, shay, etc specially driven locomotives; are considered for this listing as they can change many of the fundamental details of an engine. Go in expecting to make the likes of mainline, branchline, dockyard, etc engines; not the likes of experiments like Bulleid’s Leader or specific industry engines like the aforementioned logging shays. Some dice rolls will have uneven distribution, such as “1-4, and 5-6”. Typically this means that the less likely detail is also one that is/was significantly less common in real life, or significantly more complex to depict. For clarity sake examples will be linked, but you’re always encouraged to look up more as you would like or feel necessary. -

Stratford Drawings and Microfilm Lists.Xlsx
Stratford Photo Tracings and Liquid Fuel Photo Tracings Drawings Lists Description: There are approximately 16000 engineering drawings covering locomotives, carriages and wagons, components, road vehicles and a miscellaneous variety of objects. There is an associated and quite unique card index system related to the drawings and a set of registers. System of arrangement: The engineering drawings have been sorted and listed in separate series based on the apparent practice of the drawing office at Stratford. The main series of the drawings can be categorised into four main types: 1. Photo tracings on wax linen. These acted as a master from which copies could be made for other purposes. 2. Office copies. These were prints on paper, with the earliest using a cyanotype photo process for copying, sometime additionally coloured, and kept in the drawing office. 3. Shop copies. These were on a variety of materials tacked onto wooden rods and used in the workshops. They have survived in this condition and are inevitably uniformly dirty and frequently in poor condition. 4. Bench-hole copies. These were separate from the main series, as only about 20% originated at Stratford. Most came from external sources. Essentially they formed a technical reference library of ideas and suggestions. They were folded and stored flat in a pigeonhole system. In total they comprise approximately 16000 drawings. There is duplication between the various series but the extent of this has not yet been appraised. The main series of drawings runs potentially from 1 to 42459, plus ‘attachments’ and ‘parts’ drawings. Most of these drawings have not survived into the present, as a result of periodic culls of material. -

Stratford Works oversaw an incredible output of train-building - over 1,702 locomotives; 5,500 passenger vehicles and 33,000 goods wagons were constructed here. New Stratford Works is a nod to that productive and exciting moment in time which, along with the nearby porcelain factories and docklands, pulled new generations of workers and their families to the neighbourhood. When the London Docks closed in the 1960s, the area suffered from a period of hardship. Although, long-time residents remember one day in 1967 when The Beatles brought excitement and celebrity sheen to Angel Lane. The band galavanted on white horses for their ‘Penny Lane’ promotional video as crowds looked on.
