  • Track & Turnouts
    Track & Turnouts Prototype Notes Real industrial narrow gauge railways were often transitory in nature. In addition, almost without exception they were built as economically as possible, the equipment being treated as 'plant' - a tool to get the job done. As a result the track bed was hurriedly formed and near non-existent on some lines. Permanent earthworks were avoid- ed if at all possible and only undertaken if the railway was expected to be especially remunerative or if there was no other option! The gauge that became virtually universal was 24 inches. Manufacturers offered two-foot gauge material from stock - other gauges were to special order only. To allow the ready laying and movement of track a rigid portable system was developed, the leading British manufacturer of which was Robert Hudson of Leeds. This comprised pressed metal sleepers bolted to short lengths of rail. In its lightest form the panels of portable track were easily picked up by one man and repaid to suit. These light tracks were only suitable for wagons pushed by men or drawn by horses. Later, when small locomotives were introduced and loads became larger, a more robust form of semi-portable track was devised. This retained the fixed geometry and moveable nature of the earlier product but was stronger and heavier. Our track parts represent this latter type. As the years passed a British Standard for portable track evolved. The last full set of such standards was issued in April 1934 as BS 536-1934. There were three types of portable railway track dealt with, all 24 inch gauge.

  • Portable Track for Agricultural and Industrial Tramways
    Australian Narrow Gauge Convention 2013 Portable Track for Agricultural and Industrial Tramways Lynn Zelmer (lynn @ zelmeroz.com) Animal, human and gravity powered tramways were very common in late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Enterprises generally had some permanent way, often with steam powered locomotives, and laid temporary track directly on the ground to collect materials from quarries and fields. This use of portable track continued into the trench railways of WWI and continues today in some of less developed plantation economies. This lightweight portable track forms the subject of this presentation, especially as it relates to cane railways. Background Bullocks working portable track laying into a Fijian cane field. Immediately in front of the bullocks is an incline laid on top of the permanent way which, coupled with a curved track section, will allow wagons to smoothly move in and out of the nearby field. The 4w trucks behind are loaded with portable track sections. It's quite possible that the permanent way is also constructed from portable track sections, bolted together and stabalised by the cane trash, etc. Brad Peadon photographer. Early catalogues indicate many sources of portable trackwork, either as complete tramways or components to be assembled on site. The agricultural plantations and mill systems of the late nineteenth century profited from developments arising from similar portable track use in the Welsh quarries and other European mining and light industrial use. They had similar needs and solved them by evolving from timber rails and gravity or human power to the use of animal power, more sophisticated track systems and eventually light steam power.

  • 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.
