    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.

  • Virtual Exhibition
    RAILEX 2021 Virtual Exhibition Kyle of Lochalsh, photo by Chris Nevard Risborough & District Model Railway Club Welcome to Railex 2021 It is disappointing that for the second year in a row, we are not able to hold Railex in the flesh so to speak. However, we hope this virtual show goes some way to compensate. In the best traditions of Railex past, we believe we have brought you a fine selection of layouts to view online. We feature many of the layouts that were booked for 2020 and 2021. Please see these as an appetiser as we intend to invite as many of these layouts as possible to the next couple of live Railex shows. In addition, this year we are featuring several home layouts of club members that never go on the exhibition circuit. As well as the usual list of Traders who traditionally attend our show, we have expanded the line-up to include other quality outlets for whom we don't normally have room. Please enjoy browsing amongst them. This year, as a first for us, we are hosting some demonstrations - some are prerecorded and can be viewed at any time and 4 will be live today with an opportunity for questions and answers afterwards - see the timetable on the Railex Show front page. Lockdown has reputedly attracted a large number of new followers to the hobby. If this is you, we hope you enjoy the section devoted to expanding your horizons and see what modern technology can do to enhance your pleasure. Finally, I hope you enjoy the show and we really look forward to welcoming you in person at Stoke Mandeville in 2022.

  • 150 Years of the Somerset & Dorset Railway
    BACKTRACK 22-1 2008:Layout 1 21/11/07 14:29 Page 25 S&DR 2-4-0 No.9 at Evercreech station c1870. Built by George England & Company at Hatcham Iron Works, New Cross, London, in 1863 at a cost of £2,550 each, Nos.9 and 10 differed from the original series of eight locomotives in that they had wider cylinders, a longer wheelbase, a larger raised firebox and, most noticeably, they were blessed with a spacious cab which offered protection against the elements. The original Somerset Central line was broad gauge and worked by the Bristol & Eexeter Railway, but when the SCR headed toward standard gauge amalgamation with the Dorset Central the BER forced the SCR to lay a broad gauge third rail to Bruton. This picture clearly shows that the third rail had since been removed — the last BER train ran in 1868 — and that point rodding had taken its place, but it is difficult to discern whether the remaining rails rest upon a baulk road or cross- sleepers. The tracks to the right look to be converging, thereby suggesting that a middle road was in existence. Station staff and crew pose by the engine positioned (on the wrong road) beside the store and up platform shelter, possibly during shunting duties given that the engine displays the head code for goods working. Positioned by the smokebox is one of the re-railing jacks whilst the second jack lies 115050 YEARSYEARS OFOF THETHE between the rails, hinting at a possible mishap.

The organising team hopes that you will have a very enjoyable time at the exhibition. We have assembled a wide range of layouts representing all periods of railway history, and these are supported by traders, demonstrators and other exhibits. Layouts on display vary from the representation of the GWR broad gauge shown on Dorchester Junction to the relatively modern period shown on Western Road Diesel Depot and include lots of variations in between. We also have, for the first time, a 2mm Scale layout representing exact scale modelling at 2mm to the foot. The exhibits are organised in two locations so please make sure that you see everything. Whilst Scaleforum is organised primarily for members of the Society, we welcome the many visitors who are not members and hope that you will find much of interest. For those who may be interested in joining the Society at the special Scaleforum rate, the Membership desk can be found in the Society area on the first floor. We aim to provide an opportunity for all those who are interested in model railways to meet, talk, exchange ideas and be impressed by the high standard of modelling on display.

  • Brunel's “Great Eastern”
    Reprinted from: Gloucestershire Society for Industrial Archaeology Journal for 2005 pages 37-43 BRUNEL’S “GREAT EASTERN” STEAMSHIP THE LAUNCH FIASCO - AN INVESTIGATION Keith Hickman Introduction Gloucester’s position on the lower reaches of the River Severn assured its function as a centre of trade from the earliest times. Being the lowest crossing downstream the city was also of military importance during the Roman Occupation. Although river trade developed gradually over the centuries it was the completion of the Gloucester-Sharpness Canal in 1827 with the consequent increase in trade, further boosted by the arrival of the railways in the 1840’s which gave Gloucester a “state-of-the-art” transport infrastructure. New industries evolved as a result, a process which continued into the 20th Century. During this period familiar Company names would emerge, establishing Gloucester as an important manufacturing centre in both peace and war. It was the Bristol and Gloucester Railway which first linked the city with I.K. Brunel. Laid to his “Broad Gauge” it was Brunel s first offensive northwards from Bristol in his campaign to penetrate the Midlands, already dominated by the “Narrow” or standard gauge as we know it today. The station complex at Gloucester was the interchange for the two gauges and became notorious as the site of the first skirmish in the so-called “Gauge War” with a staged demonstration of the freight and luggage transhipment difficulties inherent with the break of gauge. Although the City's connection with Brunel is commonly associated with his railway works, indeed thanks to the short-lived Gloucester and Dean Forest Railway and the South Wales Railway, Gloucester could boast the largest concentration of his unique “Balloon” flange wrought iron bridges in the kingdom, there is perhaps a less well known connection with the last and most controversial of all his works his Great Ship-The “Great Eastern”.

  • Accessing Science Vale UK SOUTHERN CENTRAL
    Accessing Science Vale UK SOUTHERN CENTRAL OXFORDSHIRE TRANSPORT STUDY (SCOTS) Recommended Strategic Transport Package Report September 2009 2 Approval Status: December 2009 Accessing Science Vale UK - Southern Central Oxfordshire Transport Study (SCOTS) – Recommended Strategic Transport Package Report. On 15th September 2009 Oxfordshire County Council’s Cabinet agreed to the following recommendations: i) Approve in principle the strategic transport package required to mitigate growth in the SCOTS area to 2026, subject to the further work being undertaken, including funding options. ii) Delegate the decision to add to or amend the SCOTS to the Director for Environment and Economy, in consultation with the Cabinet Member of Growth and Infrastructure, should the further work reveal that changes are necessary. Some further work has now been undertaken and supports the need for the schemes in the Recommended Strategic Transport Package, to ensure that the planned growth in the SCOTS area can be accommodated. There are a number of changes to the package which can be seen below: • Part of the further work investigated the cycle corridors with nine strategic schemes now being recommended. • The package no longer includes the provision of a route to enable buses to overcome congestion problems at Milton Interchange. The further work report includes technical work on this scheme, however it is clear that more evidence is required to find solutions to this issue. Future transport solutions are now being progressed through the Delivering a Sustainable Transport System (DaSTS) work, which focuses on the infrastructure requirements for the Science Vale UK area. The purpose of this work will be to provide an understanding of the deficiencies in the current transport network in delivering “sustainable economic growth” in Central Oxfordshire and to outline a wide range of packages of investment post 2013/14.
