  • THE NORTH STAR CHRONICLES – a Newsletter Primarily for the Model Railway Fraternity
    THE NORTH STAR CHRONICLES – a newsletter primarily for the model railway fraternity Volume 6 no 5 May 2018 Editor: David Cairns e-mail: [email protected] Website for back copies: [email protected] Phone: +27 82 653 5642 Editorial This month’s North Star Chronicles is a bit of a cheat insofar as the primary feature is the Isle of Man and the meat of the article thereon was written while I was editor of the Workbench, the newsletter of the Durban Society of Model Engineers. In my defence I cite the fact that I was away for much of April so time to draft a new NSC was limited. Be that as it may, the subject is dear to my heart. For those interested in railways, particularly steam operated narrow gauge ones, and tramlines, and who are looking for a prototype to model which runs on either 32mm or 45mm track, look no further. I highly recommend a visit to the Island. One piece of advice, do so in the British ‘summer’ and take an umbrella and raincoat. It rains a lot on the Isle of Man! The Isle of Man Located in the middle of the Irish Sea, from the top of the highest ‘mountain’ (formerly accessible by tram) on a clear day the 4 home countries of Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Island are visible. The Isle of Man was originally settled by Celts and Vikings. It is difficult to find the exact words to describe the island but time capsule is certainly apt with respect to some of its transport facilities.

  • IL Combo Ndx V2
    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.

  • Groudle Glen, One of the Island’S Best Known Tourist Attractions, Doesn’T Have Many Buildings – but Almost the Whole Glen Has Been Shaped by the Hand of Man
    14 ISLE OF MAN EXAMINER www.iomtoday.co.im Tuesday, June 6, 2017 BUILDINGS AT RISK Where there’s a wheel there’s a way ... Groudle Glen, one of the Island’s best known tourist attractions, doesn’t have many buildings – but almost the whole glen has been shaped by the hand of man. Chris Callow, an undergraduate student of history & heritage at University College Isle of Man, describes the history of the glen and its buildings, and how both are at risk. roudle glen to- day is a popular spot for walkers, who probably don’t stop to ponder how such a well-wood- Ged area came into being. It is down to one of the giants of the island’s Victorian tour- ist industry, Richard Maltby Broadbent. Born at Bibaloe Beg in On- chan in 1850, Broadbent be- came engaged in extensive property development in Douglas, notably constructing and operating the Pavilion on Harris Promenade, famously replaced by the Gaiety Theatre which has survived to this day, thanks to Government inter- vention in 1971. So successful was Broad- bent that in 1894 he commis- sioned Mackay Hugh Baillie Richard Maltby Broadbent (Manx Musuem) Scott to design his home Ivy- dene at Little Switzerland, Douglas. Much information about the early family came to light recently when the cur- rent owner of Ivydene discov- ered in the loft and restored to RMB’s great-grandsons the Broadbent family bible. Broadbent worked closely with Frederick Saunderson, a civil engineer responsible for early property development in Ramsey, who was also closely associated with Baillie Scott.

  • Hampshire Area Garden Railway Group
    Hampshire Area Garden Railway Group (incorporating the Hampshire area of the Association of 16mm Narrow Gauge Modellers and the Southdown Railway Co.) Associate members of Fareham & District Model Railway Club January 2013 A Happy and Prosperous New Year to all readers. Well, by this time 2012 we’d been well chilled and seen snow in some areas – this year there’s been rain and temperatures around 12 degrees. It would be ideal except for the back garden resembling a lake at times. Fortunately, a window in the rain allowed some running to take place in Totton between Christmas and the End of 2012. We saw Rod’s Regner 2-10-2 running (as depicted last month) complete with a transporter wagon for standard gauge stock plus the more usual narrow gauge vehicles. Looking right at home on a trestle and hauling logs from the other side of the pond was a Climax locomotive – one of the more inventive methods of ensuring the maximum traction with lighter axle loadings from the USA, in comparison of course to the Shays but with a cylinder each side of the boiler rather than having them all on one side. From rather closer to home, William B- J’s detailed “Joan” also put in an appearance later on, initially suffering from a blocked gas jet that had to be rectified before steam could be raised. Once in steam, “Joan” rumbled round the track on manual control, the train including one of the WLLR private owner wagons “J.L.L.Peate & Sons” recently produced specially via TrackShack in the Isle of Man.
