    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.

    BTK 3669 to become a theatre Those of you who study every word of Moors Line will have noticed on page 63 of Issue 191 that it is planned to use a 1930’s carriage during Wartime Weekend to perform a play called ‘Bomb Happy’. The carriage in question is of course BTK3669, whose brake van area has been deemed suitable to be used as a small theatre. The owners of BTK3669 are delighted that it is going to be used for this purpose, as it is another opportunity to raise the profile of the Association. A Puzzle Picture Dave Cullingworth recently spotted a print of the photo below of a Howlden ECJS or GN clerestory coach, photographed in its later years as departmental No. 961503, for sale on E-bay. It raises some questions—can anyone help with the answers? What is obviously unusual about this coach is that it has had an underframe change -it is on a Gresley angle-trussed underframe with the characteristic clipped-head buffers. It couldn’t have received this earlier than the early 1930s when these were introduced. Why would such an elderly vehicle have a replacement underframe relatively late in its life? Any accident damage sufficient to write off an underframe Newsletter No. 106 August 2016 probably wouldn’t have done the body it carried much good either!

    Friends of Classic London Buses of the Fifties for Those Actively Involved in Or Supporting the Preservation of London Buses, Coaches and Trolleybuses of the Past

    Friends of Classic London Buses of the Fifties For those actively involved in or supporting the preservation of London buses, coaches and trolleybuses of the past Here is a nice wintry shot of RT 1426, one of the Country area's Cravens-bodied examples, waiting to go to home to Windsor from Uxbridge, long ago, via the picturesque-sounding Iver Heath, George Green, Upton Lea and more mundane Wexham Road, Slough and Eton. I cannot speak for those places at the time the photograph was taken, but in more recent times it has been hard to see anything remotely rural, bucolic or delightful about any of them, and Upton Lea is nothing but a large and uninspiring housing estate on the edge of Slough. Life can be so disappointing at times! Photo by Michael Dryhurst. Newsletter 162 February 2020 Opening Lines First of all, many thanks to all those “Friends” who kindly sent us seasonal greetings at what is nowadays regarded as the “festive” season. These are of course warmly reciprocated. Thanks also to those many individuals who contribute to this monthly mayhem. All contributions are gratefully received and as many as possible are used. It matters not if you send a couple of lines or several pages, it all helps to keep us all in touch. I would also now ask vehicle owners to think about keeping us posted, especially in the case of those buses and coaches which rarely, if ever, appear in public. Many members like to know that these “ghost” buses still exist and are being cared for, or stored, or even under extensive restoration.

Photo: Mervyn Allcock New Technology on Test Opening On 31st March, shortly after the Roundhouse - like the rest of the Shot... country - had gone into lockdown, Railview (a railway research company which uses Barrow Hill for testing) undertook filming of its latest prototype technology, mounted on a Mercedes Unimog road rail vehicle. This filming was obviously subject to social distancing requirements and risk assessments were undertaken prior to it taking place. The video that was created from this activity then formed the basis of an online webinar and Q&A session on 23rd April with representatives of the railway industry including Network Rail, a potential user of this technology. This shot was captured just before the class 08 was loaded for onward transit to a HNRC contract; it is pictured here with class 45 45060 and class 47 47769.
