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.

    1 a New Age of Steam?

    A new age of steam? The Tua Valley Line, Portugal - Experience and Examples from the Technological Heritage Operations and Preserved Railways of Britain. Dr Dominic Fontana Department of Geography, University of Portsmouth, United Kingdom [email protected] The railways of Portugal are well known to a global community of steam enthusiasts, many of whom used to visit the country specifically to experience and photograph the last days of steam traction until as late as the 1980s. The narrow gauge lines north of the Douro River, and the Tua Valley line in particular, were considered as very special railways. Their outstanding combination of narrow gauge steam traction, relatively long runs of track and extraordinarily beautiful landscapes, made for a magical railway experience. In the 1980s steam was replaced with diesel traction and although there are now regular but infrequent steam hauled tourist trains on the Douro Valley line, there are currently very limited opportunities for people to recapture this experience. Portugal has several railway museums including the excellent National Railway Museum in Entroncamento, but these present static displays rather than “live” steam and many railway enthusiasts consider this to be a poor substitute for the “real” thing where steam locomotives are operating in steam, within a fully-fledged railway environment. 0189 2-8-4T Henschel 1925 Mallet locomotive at Regua. 1 Portugal possesses over 100 redundant steam locomotives (Bailey, 2013) dispersed in yards around its national railway network, some of them remain potentially usable and many are certainly restorable to full operating condition. Portugal also possesses track and routes, which have been recently closed to passenger and freight traffic.

    12 February 2019 PRESS INFORMATION For immediate publication A BUMPER YEAR FOR HRA AWARDS Saturday February 9th saw the celebrations surrounding the Heritage Railway Association’s 2019 annual awards. At a gala dinner in the Burlington Hotel, Birmingham, attendees were entertained by guest speaker Pete Waterman, prior to an awards ceremony that recognised the very best of the UK’s heritage rail industry. The HRA Awards recognise a wide range of achievements and distinctions across the entire heritage railway industry, and the awards acknowledge individuals and institutions as well as railways, tramways and cliff railways. The February 9th event saw the presentation of awards in record 15 categories, which includes one completely new award. Several categories saw a record number of nominees, and in one case, joint winners. The Statfold Barn Railway won the Morton’s Media (Heritage Railways) Interpretation Award, for their outstanding museum of international narrow gauge railways, and repository of information and artefacts relating to the Hunslet engine. The Railway Magazine Annual Award for Services to Railway Preservation was won by John Bate of the Talyllyn Railway, quite possibly the world’s longest-serving heritage rail volunteer, and whose skills have made a unique contribution to railway preservation. The NER 1903 Electric Autocar Trust won double honours. The Trust took the Morton’s Media (Rail Express) Modern Traction Award, for their restoration of the pioneering 1903 NER Autocar, the first railway vehicle to combine an internal combustion engine with a generator and traction motors, and thus the forerunner of all modern trains. Underlining their achievement, the Trust also won the Heritage Railway Association Manisty Award, one of the heritage rail industry’s most prestigious awards, which acknowledges an outstanding contribution to railway preservation.

Chairman’s Introduction Welcome to this special issue of HRA News! This Christmas edition is dedicated to bringing you news about our 2019 Awards. Over the years, the HRA awards have grown in status and stature. They’re now amongst the most sought-after honours in our sector. And the awards are more than just an excuse for a good night out and a pat on the back. They really do recognise significant, often important, achievements in preserving our nation’s industrial and social history. They set standards, and promote the extraordinary pool of talent, skills, knowledge and sheer energy that keeps heritage rail, quite literally, in business. Competition for HRA Awards is fierce, and the standard of entries increases each year. Making it to the short list is an achievement in itself. And all the candidates deserve as much publicity as possible – they’ve earned it. So, on the following pages, you’ll find an early round-up of all the candidates for all the awards. All of them are impressive, and there are many categories where I truly feel all the entries deserve to win. We have a new award this year – the Young Volunteer Award. Lord Faulkner has generously agreed to put his name to the award. The future of heritage rail rests entirely on the shoulders of a new, upcoming generation, all of whom start out as volunteers in one capacity or another.
