Other activities (to be completed through the week) Sir Daniel Gooch’s letter to Brunel On 13 September, 1840, Daniel Gooch wrote to Isambard Kingdom Brunel. The letter he wrote became a very important part of Swindon's history. In the letter, Gooch suggested that Brunel use Swindon as the location of the Great Western's much-needed engine works. Brunel agreed and the Swindon locomotive works was built. Imagine you are Daniel Gooch. Can you create a poster to persuade Brunel to build the works in Swindon? Think about why Swindon would be a good place. What is there here? Think about the location, rivers, flat land, people etc. The SS Great Britain Brunel designed the SS Great Britain to be the first propeller driven, ocean going, iron ship in the world.

Crews used to hoist the flags in different combinations to spell out short messages. You can see all of the flags below. Can you spell your name using the flags? Can you create a flag for the ship to fly with a new message? You could use pencils, paint or sew your flag. Trump cards Make some top trump cards based on Brunel’s different achievements. You could have: Paddington station, Box Tunnel, SS Great Britain, GWR, steam train etc. You can create your trump cards however you like (digitally or on paper). Can you play a game with them after? How many can you make? Make a hat Brunel always wore a top hat. Some people believe this was because he was quite a short man and the hat made him look taller. He was also known for keeping his sandwiches for his lunch under his hat so his hat was very important to him. Can you make your own hat? This could be a top hat or any other hat you would like to make and see how much taller it makes you look. Can you store anything under your hat? Send any pictures you have of it to your class’ Instagram page.

I am writing to help you to decide on a new site for engine production. I have studied the Great Western Railway. What more perfect location is there than Swindon! Will you consider it? Do not worry about the bad supply of water. We can build the site close to the local canal to stop this problem. The land is very flat which will mean the new tracks can be laid easily. It will also be an excellent place for a halfway stop between Bristol and London. How lucky we are to have found such a place! Building a large station at Swindon would also help us to keep our engines for Wootton Bassett at Swindon instead of having a separate station for them. You need to think about the money that would save. You’re not so worried about the water supply that you would right off this perfect location are you? Swindon also has the great advantage of being on the side of a canal linking it with the whole of England. This would help us to get coal and coke transported in easily. These reasons lead me to think Swindon by far the best point we have for a Central Engine Station. You need to start building now. How magnificent this place will look when we’ve finished! The ground is perfect to build on. When will you decide plans to build here? I am, my dear Sir, Yours very truly, DANIEL GOOCH Ahoy There! Did you know the SS Great Britain flies over 180 flags? Most are international maritime signal flags used, to this day, by ships to communicate with each other. Every flag stands for a letter of the alphabet and a specific message.

John has for many years published railway photographs and is well known for his knowledge on topics relating to our hobby. He began by informing us that there were now some 26,000 photographs on his website! From these, he had compiled a presentation entitled 'From Modernisation to Privatisation', covering a 30-year period from 1968 (the year of the Fraternity's founding) until 1997. His talk was accompanied by a couple of hundred illustrations, all of very high quality, which formed a most comprehensive review of the railway scene during a period when the railways of this country were subjected to great changes. We started with a few photos of the last steam locomotives at work on BR and then were treated to a review of the new motive power that appeared in the 20 years or so from the Modernisation Plan of 1955. John managed to illustrate nearly every class of diesel and electric locomotive that saw service in this period, from the diminutive '03' shunter up to the Class '56' 3,250 hp heavy freight locomotive - a total of over 50 types.

    'Swindon and Its Railway Connections' by Reg Palk

    IMechE Dorchester Area Lecture Review ‘Swindon and its Railway Connections’ by Reg Palk 18th June 2009, Weymouth College ‘Swindon and its Railway Connections’ presented by Reg Palk, a Swindon railway museum volunteer, held at Weymouth College on the 18th June 2009 was an informative and light hearted lecture for all those interested in Swindon and its railway heritage. The lecture commenced at 7pm and was well attended by an audience of approximate 30. With the aid of slides, Reg described the history of Swindon Railway Works which opened in January 1843 as a repair and maintenance facility for the new Great Western Railway (GWR). By 1900 the works had expanded dramatically and employed over 12,000 people and at its peak in the 1930s, the works covered over 300 acres and capable of producing three locomotives a week. The ‘STEAM - Museum of the Great Western Railway’, tells the story of the men and women who built, operated and travelled on the GWR, a network that through the pioneering vision of Isambard Kingdom Brunel (1806-1859) and others such as Sir Daniel Gooch (1816-1889) was regarded as the most advanced in the world. In 1840, Daniel Gooch, locomotive superintendent of the GWR, wrote to Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the railway's chief engineer. The letter he wrote proved decisive in Swindon's history changing it from the small market town of ‘Swindon on the hill’ with its associated canal junction into a town at the heart of the Industrial Revolution. The letter from Gooch put forward his proposal for the building of the Great Western's much-needed engine works at Swindon.

  • Measuring the Energy of Trains

    From Shovels to CTs – Measuring the Energy of Trains By Doug Landau Introduction How much energy does a train use? From the earliest days, promoters of the first steam railways were concerned, not so much with energy, but its close proxy, the cost of fuel, often expressed in terms of shovelfuls per mile. This primitive measure set a tradition that continued, especially in the hands of footplate inspectors, almost to the last days of steam. By degrees, more sophisticated approaches and methods were evolved, and although the development of testing techniques almost continued until the dying days of steam, they never quite reached a state of technical perfection. The steam locomotive proved to be a difficult customer for scientific analysis, always challenging in multiple ways the available metrological “know how”. This struggle was inevitable. Until about 200 hundred years ago, technology (the ability to make things that work), generally marched a long way ahead of the science (a formal understanding of how things work). A good example would be the ubiquitous bow and arrow contrived around the world thousands of years ago, an invention devised with no knowledge whatever of Newton‟s Laws of Motion, or Hooke‟s Law of Elasticity. It was not until the Renaissance that a symbiosis between engineering and science steadily evolved; ultimately delivering the many remarkable technologies we take for granted today. It is not without some irony, that whereas monitoring the performance and energy demands of the relatively primitive technology of steam trains, ultimately involved sophisticated and expensive dynamometer cars, stationary test plants, considerable instrumentation, and test teams involving about a dozen or so engineers, electric traction requires little more than a current transformer, voltage transformer and a kilowatt-hour (KWH) meter, which would fit comfortably into a suitcase.
