CYLINDER POSITION is shown in column four for steam locomotives. In each case, a prefix numeral (3, 4, etc) denotes more than the usual two cylinders. IC Inside cylinders OC Outside cylinders VC Vertical cylinders G Geared transmission - suffixed to IC, OC or VC RACK DRIVE. Certain locomotives are fitted with rack-drive equipment to enable them to climb steep inclines; and were mainly developed for underground use in coal mines. The pattern of rack used was the ―Abt‖ design. Locos that were built with (and are thought to still retain) this equipment are indicated by the word RACK in column four. However, due to contraction of the coal industry, such locos have often been transferred to sites where the rack equipment is no longer in use. ROAD/RAIL. Certain locomotives are capable of working on either rail or road, many being of either Unilok or Unimog manufacture. These are indicated by R/R in column four. STEAM OUTLINE. Non-steam locomotives, with a steam locomotive appearance added, are shown by s/o in column four. MAKERS. The builder of the locomotive is shown in column five; the abbreviations used are listed on pages 10 to 21. MAKERS NUMBER and DATE. The sixth column shows the works number, the next column the date which appears on the plate, or the date the loco was built if none appears on the plate. DOUBTFUL INFORMATION. Information known to be doubtful is denoted as such by the wording, or printed in brackets with a question mark. Thus, Wkm (7573 ?) 1956 denotes that the loco is a Wickham built in 1956, and possibly of the works number 7573. MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. c denotes circa, i.e. about the time of the date quoted Dsm indicates a ―long-term‖ dismantled locomotive (as an aid to photographers, etc) Note: battery locos not carrying a battery are not regarded as Dsm DsmT used for motorised trollies which have been converted to engineless trailers Pvd denotes Preserved on site reb denotes the locomotive was rebuilt (by, and when, as per list) Note: ―rebuilt‖ infers significant alteration to transmission or appearance; not a routine overhaul no matter how thorough that may have been rep indicates a major repair, and is ONLY detailed in the listings when a ―repair plate‖ is (or was) affixed to the loco (and thus an aid to identification). OOU ―Out Of Use‖ - indicates a locomotive which has, apparently permanently or at least for a significant period of time, ceased work There are cases where all locomotives at a site are OOU but the railway, siding etc, is still in use, utilising a road tractor, cable-haulage or man-power for example. Electric locomotives at steelworks and colliery sites are usually to be found working at Coke Ovens, the grid reference for the Ovens being shown in the usual place, when known.

  • Britain's Great Little Railways Newsletter 60 July 2015 Jack, The
    Britain’s Great Little Railways Newsletter 60 July 2015 Jack, the Exbury Gardens Railway Dog Railway staff and regular visitors were saddened recently to learn of the death of "Jack The Railway Dog". The railway yard was like a home from home for Jack who quickly endeared himself to everyone as he oversaw the engine preparation each morning from the comfort of his bed outside the engine shed. This was often followed by a brisk walk to carry out the daily track inspection with a member of the railway team. Following a quick snack in the mess room. it was then time to stroll up the platform to supervise the loading of the passengers before jumping into the guards van for a circuit or two of "Guard Dog" duties. This was regularly followed by a photo shoot as passengers waited in line to take a snap of our little colleague as he rested on the soft cushion of the guards seat. The highlight of Jack's day was lunchtime when he eagerly awaited the unwrapping of my sausage sandwiches, said railway foreman Ian Wilson who, to every ones amusement, often spoke to Jack in an American accent as he was born in Texas. Our little friend will be sadly missed. BGLR NEWS The date for the Autumn General Meeting is Wednesday October 7th at the Beer Heights Light Railway situated in Pecorama, Mare Lane, Beer, Seaton, Devon EX12 3NA. The meeting will start at 11.00 am. HRA, LEGISLATION, & SAFETY REPORT BGLR is a corporate member of the Heritage Railway Association.

  • The Renewable Energy Review May 2011
    The Renewable Energy Review May 2011 Preface The Committee on Climate Change (the Committee) is an independent statutory body which was established under the Climate Change Act (2008) to advise UK and devolved administration governments on setting and meeting carbon budgets, and preparing for climate change. Setting carbon budgets In December 2008 we published our first report, Building a low-carbon economy – the UK’s contribution to tackling climate change, containing our advice on the level of the first three carbon budgets and the 2050 target; this advice was accepted by the Government and legislated by Parliament. In December 2010, we set out our advice on the fourth carbon budget, covering the period 2023-27, as required under Section 4 of the Climate Change Act; the Government will propose draft legislation for the fourth budget in Spring of 2011. We will provide advice on inclusion of international aviation and shipping in carbon budgets in Spring 2012, drawing on analysis of shipping emissions and a bioenergy review to be published later in 2011. Progress meeting carbon budgets The Climate Change Act requires that we report annually to Parliament on progress meeting carbon budgets; to date we have published two progress reports (October 2009, June 2010) and will publish our third report in June 2011. Advice requested by Government We provide ad hoc advice in response to requests by the Government and the devolved administrations. Under a process set out in the Climate Change Act, we have advised on reducing UK aviation emissions, Scottish emissions reduction targets, UK support for low-carbon technology innovation, and design of the Carbon Reduction Commitment.

  • 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.

  • Britain's Great Little Railways Newsletter 63 April 2016 AGM And
    Britain’s Great Little Railways Newsletter 63 April 2016 AGM and SPRING GENERAL MEETINGS At 10.15 when I arrived at the Bradford Arms there was a blizzard in full progress and I wondered how many members would make it and even if we would be able to get home after the meeting. In the end the snow stopped fairly quickly and although the sun never came out the weather was just about acceptable for a train ride in the afternoon. Bruce Whalley hosted the meeting in the Bradford Arms and at his railway in the afternoon. The meeting saw the retirement of Maureen Atkinson, our Treasurer and also Mike Hanson. I would like to thank them both for the dedicated work that they have put in to assist the smooth running of BGLR. Peter Jackson has been appointed as our new Treasurer and can be contacted at [email protected] or on 07711 787289. His postal address is 35 Cowley Avenue, Greenhithe, Dartford. DA9 9QA The minutes of the two meetings have been circulated to all members and posted on the Members Only section of the website along with the Year End Accounts. The meetings were lively and interesting and it was good to meet the owners of the proposed Fenn Bell Miniature Railway which is currently in the planning application stage. After a pleasant lunch and distribution of the 2016 Posters and Brochures the members drove the short distance to Weston Park to play trains. A ride behind the Garrett was especially good despite the wind and near freezing temperature.
