Southern Railway Microfilm Lists Description: These are a selection from the Southern Railway Works drawings collection deemed to be of particular interest to researchers and preserved railways. The cards are listed in two tables – a main list of drawings from each of the main works and a smaller list of sketches. There are 943 drawings in total. The main table of drawings has been sub-divided into the three constituent works of the former Southern Railway and British Rail (Southern Region). These were Ashford (formerly the South Eastern & Chatham Railway), Brighton (formerly the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway, both B and W series) and Eastleigh (formerly the London & South Western Railway and including the predecessor works at Nine Elms). There are 826 drawings in this series. Details in the tables are drawn directly from the originals. Further information may be obtained by cross-reference with the full list of surviving original drawings (locomotives only) or works registers. A small number of drawings are of poor quality and will not print out in fine detail. This has usually been indicated. Users of these aperture cards are advised that they should view the aperture cards before purchasing printed copies as there can be no guarantee that all details will be clearly visible. The tables as set out include all drawings copied up to the present. The majority are from locomotives, but there are some from carriage and wagons. At all the works these were drawn in the same numerical series. The listing of the original carriage and wagon drawings from the former Southern works is still at an early stage and there may therefore be additions to the available aperture cards in due course. System of arrangement: Ashford Works Drawings: These usually have an ‘A’ prefix. Where the drawing does not show the prefix one has been assumed. Brighton Works Drawings: The majority of these drawings bear a ‘B’ prefix, and a smaller number bear a ‘W’ prefix, possibly indicating that they were made at the Waterloo drawing office. Eastleigh Works Drawings: The drawings have been given an ‘E’ prefix, including drawings without a prefix originating at the Nine Elms works, as all the drawings have been registered in a single numerical sequence. Contractors Drawings: These drawings are a small number for specific locomotives built by other companies on behalf of one of the Southern companies. These include North British, Neilson and Manning Wardle locomotives.

I^ I., Iji .r !•,.!• 1 i rl • I . .: ! 1 In mid-October, 1986, this was the scene west of Pickering, where the erstwhile GO-ALRT line was being constructed, requiring two temporary bridges under CN's York Sub. (MacMillan Yd. access line). The bridge, far right, carries the access line across Hwy. 401. ... mi. --John D. Thompson DECEMBER 1986 3 A RAILWAY MUSEUM FOR ZIMBABWE By Sandy Worthen It is easy to understand why railways developed so rapidly in England, ttfe land of their birth, in the first half of the 19th cet|tury- And so it is quite logical that one of the world's finest railway museums, the National Museum at York, England, should have been established at an early date. When George Stephenson's LOCOMOTION hauled the first steam powered train on any public railway in the world on Sept. 27, 1825, from Shildon to Stockton-Quay, with 10 loaded coal trucks, 21 waggons fitted with temporary seats and a solitary passenger coach named EXPERIMENT, it was certain that, one day, someone would have the idea of saving some railway equipment to commemorate this historic event.

  • NG 15, Loco No. 134

    NG 15, Loco No. 134

    NG 15, loco no. 134 Last repair book whilst in use by SAR from Humewood Road Mostly translated from Afrikaans, by Martin Coombs, with help from members of the SAR-L e-mail group including Pierre de Wet, James Smith, Aidan McCarthy and Keith Simmons. Further assistance from the bilingual diagrams in the SAR Handbook on the Steam Locomotive for Enginemen and Running Shed Staff, and from the online Afrikaans-English dictionary at <http://www.websters-online- dictionary.org/definition/Afrikaans-english/index7.html>. Notes: Repair books tend to be written in a hurry by drivers at the end of their shifts, using whatever writing implement was to hand. In addition drivers may not be particular- ly literate or good at spelling, and may use colloquialisms. Thus translating such a document is not easy and there have been one or two times when I have had to make a guess at what was written. However, in 99% of cases I think the general meaning has been clear. Key: ??? or Illeg. implies that there is a word or words that cannot be deciphered. Text in red remains in Afrikaans for lack of a translation. Text in blue is comment by me. Implications: As one correspondent commented, most of the minor problems will be sorted during the normal processes of restoration but the references in the later pages to serious leakage from stays or foundation ring rivets on the rear left of the firebox need to be taken more seriously. I think ‘klinknaels ‘ means rivets rather than stays (= ankers) but drivers might have used the term indiscriminately.

SEKON, Editor of the "Railway Magazine" and "Hallway Year Book, Author of "A History of the Great Western Railway," *•., 4*. SECOND EDITION (Enlarged). £on&on THE RAILWAY PUBLISHING CO., Ltd., 79 and 80, Temple Chambers, Temple Avenue, E.C. 1899. T3 in PKEFACE TO SECOND EDITION. When, ten days ago, the first copy of the " Evolution of the Steam Locomotive" was ready for sale, I did not expect to be called upon to write a preface for a new edition before 240 hours had expired. The author cannot but be gratified to know that the whole of the extremely large first edition was exhausted practically upon publication, and since many would-be readers are still unsupplied, the demand for another edition is pressing. Under these circumstances but slight modifications have been made in the original text, although additional particulars and illustrations have been inserted in the new edition. The new matter relates to the locomotives of the North Staffordshire, London., Tilbury, and Southend, Great Western, and London and North Western Railways. I sincerely thank the many correspondents who, in the few days that have elapsed since the publication: of the "Evolution of the , Steam Locomotive," have so readily assured me of - their hearty appreciation of the book. rj .;! G. A. SEKON. -! January, 1899. PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION. In connection with the marvellous growth of our railway system there is nothing of so paramount importance and interest as the evolution of the locomotive steam engine.

    Bitten by the Bug Part 1 R J Alliott

    • Bitten by The Bug Part 1 R J Alliott Britain’s railway history is littered with a perhaps surprising number of one-offs - the Turbomotive, the Hush-Hush, Fowler’s Ghost, the Duke of Gloucester, and the Great Bear. Many of these remained one-offs because they were partially or wholly unsuccessful, because of subsequent changes of direction in locomotive development or because they were only experimental. However, an unusual example of a one-off that was always intended to be unique from the very outset was the LSWR 4-2-4T known officially as Mr. Drummond’s Car , but known far better by locomen of the time and by enthusiasts ever since as “The Bug”. Drummond himself has also gone down in locomotive engineer folklore as something of a one-off. Born at Ardrossan in 1840, he had served on the Dumbartonshire and Caledonian Railways, and at the North British Railway, where he worked under S. W. Johnson, before moving to the Highland Railway at Inverness under William Stroudley. After a spell with Stroudley again at Brighton, he had become locomotive superintendent of the North British Railway in 1875. Seven years later he joined the Caledonian, but then jointly formed the unsuccessful Australasian Locomotive Engine Works at Sydney. He had then returned quickly to Scotland and founded the Glasgow Railway Engineering Company, finally joining the London and South Western on 1st August 1895 at the very considerable salary of £1,500, this being sharply increased to £2,000 the following year. At the LSWR, he varied between the brilliant and the sadly unsuccessful in his designs and between the severe and compassionate in his dealings with his men and his machines.

Bluebell Railway Education Department The main parts of a locomotive Based on a Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway locomotive, built in 1925 From the book “Steam Railways Explained”, author Stan Yorke, with permission of Countryside Books BLUEBELL RAILWAY EDUCATION DEPARTMENT 2b. The development of the railway locomotive 1. The steam locomotive is, in essence, a large kettle which heats water until it turns into steam, that steam is then used, under pressure, to move the engine and the train. One of the earliest and most successful locomotives was “The Rocket” used on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway which opened in 1830. The Rocket Wheel arrangement 0-2-2 Built 1829 2. This early design was rapidly improved upon and the locomotive soon assumed the shape that we recognise today. “Captain Baxter was built in 1877 and can be seen today at the Bluebell Railway. Dorking Greystone Lime Company No 3 “Captain Baxter” Wheels 0-4-0T Built 1877 3. A the years went by bigger and faster locomotives were developed to meet the needs of both passengers and freight as illustrated by this South Eastern & Chatham Railway engine which ran between London and the Kent coast. South Eastern & Chatham Railway No. 263 Wheel arrangement 0-4-4T Built 1905 4. As passenger traffic grew in the 20th century still larger and more powerful engines were required. This Southern Railway engine, built in 1936, was sent to Barry Scrapyard in South Wales following the end of steam on British Railways in 1968. It was rescued by the Bluebell and delivered to Sheffield Park Station in 1978, where it was restored to running order.

    Memory Lane – Auf Der Straße Der Erinnerung

    Memory Lane – Auf der Straße der Erinnerung Ein uraltes blaues Photoalbum erregte meine Aufmerksamkeit in einem walisischen Junk-Shop. Es enthält zahlreiche Photos von Dampflokomotiven, aber auch von Flugzeugen, Hubschraubern und Schiffen, sowie Bahnhöfen, Straßen und Gebäuden. Der unbekannte Photograph nahm sie ab 1951 auf. Besonderes Interesse zeigte er nicht nur an Kirmes- und Garteneisenbahnen, an den großen und kleinen Loks der British Railways, sondern auch an der schmalspurigen Talyllyn Railway in Wales. Spannend war die detektivische Suche nach weiteren Details zu den Lokomotiven und Orten.

    Modeling China's — and Now Iowa's — Mighty QJ 2-10-2'S

    February 2007, Volume 75, Number 9 Modeling China’s — and now Iowa’s — mighty QJ 2-10-2’s After being replaced by diesels in their home country of China, a few of these modern, heavy-duty steamers have found their way to the American Heartland / Robert D. Turner ntil the end of 2005 one last place remained on Earth where big steam locomotives in substantial numbers were running in regular freight and passenger service on a year- round basis. That place was northern China, and in particular the autonomous region U of Inner Mongolia, to the northwest of Beijing. There, on the JiTong Railway, (often written Ji-tong) a stable of rugged 2-10-2’s—coal-fired and fire breathing—were still racking up ton- miles every day in an uncompromising display of first-class railroading. These impressive machines were China’s QJ class locomotives. QJ is short for Qian Jin, or “Advancing.” It comes from the Chinese revolutionary slogan, “revolution is the locomotive pushing human history forward.” Revolutionary rhetoric aside, which I am sure loses something in the translation, it is fair to say that in years to come the QJ will be remembered as one of the most interesting and important types of steam locomotives developed in the 20th century. In fact, two now reside in North America, having been imported by Railroad Development Corporation in June of 2006. They were moved to the Iowa Interstate Railroad soon after their arrival and were operated on its rails over the weekend of September 14-17, 2006. I met my first QJ early in 2001 on China Rail just before they were retired, and then began to explore the JiTong Railway, where QJ’s were in abundance.
