  • 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.

  • Rails by the Sea.Pdf
    1 RAILS BY THE SEA 2 RAILS BY THE SEA In what ways was the development of the seaside miniature railway influenced by the seaside spectacle and individual endeavour from 1900 until the present day? Dr. Marcus George Rooks, BDS (U. Wales). Primary FDSRCS(Eng) MA By Research and Independent Study. University of York Department of History September 2012 3 Abstract Little academic research has been undertaken concerning Seaside Miniature Railways as they fall outside more traditional subjects such as standard gauge and narrow gauge railway history and development. This dissertation is the first academic study on the subject and draws together aspects of miniature railways, fairground and leisure culture. It examines their history from their inception within the newly developing fairground culture of the United States towards the end of the 19th. century and their subsequent establishment and development within the UK. The development of the seaside and fairground spectacular were the catalysts for the establishment of the SMR in the UK. Their development was largely due to two individuals, W. Bassett-Lowke and Henry Greenly who realized their potential and the need to ally them with a suitable site such as the seaside resort. Without their input there is no doubt that SMRs would not have developed as they did. When they withdrew from the culture subsequent development was firmly in the hands of a number of individual entrepreneurs. Although embedded in the fairground culture they were not totally reliant on it which allowed them to flourish within the seaside resort even though the traditional fairground was in decline.

    THORNE MOORS VERTEBRATES REPORT 2013 Compiled by Martin Limbert, Bryan P. Wainwright and Steve Hiner 2014 CONTENTS Introduction Reptiles 2009–12 (with additions and corrections 2007–08) Working paper on deer List of observers and acknowledgements Species monitoring The establishment of Black-necked Grebe Recording in 2013 by Martin Limbert Birds Marsh Harriers 1990–2003 by Martin Limbert Mammals Black-headed Gull ringing: first instalment of results by Martin Limbert Reptiles A review of fish in Swinefleet Warping Drain Amphibians by Martin Limbert Fish New or additional literature sources Additions and corrections 2008–12 (excluding reptiles) INTRODUCTION 1. Scope of the report. The Thorne Moors Vertebrates Report 2013 is an unusually long report, not least because it continues the process of making Thorne Moors vertebrates recording as up-to-date as possible. Thus the Report contains elements beyond the routine 2013 components. Also, notice is given of a working paper on the deer of Thorne Moors, published separately in May 2014. Ever since 2012, an attempt has been made to catch up with backlogs of records and monitoring. This overall process began in the Thorne Moors Vertebrates Report 2012, and continues in the current Report. The last Report to include reptile data was that for 2008. The Thorne Moors Vertebrates Report 2013 catches up by detailing additional reptile records for 2007–08 and all reptile records 2009–12. The recorder is Steve Hiner. The present Report otherwise contains accounts of birds, mammals, herptiles and fish in 2013. Also, available additions and corrections to the Reports for 2008–12 (excluding reptiles) are listed in full.

    file IL COMBO v2 for PDF.doc updated 13-12-2006 THE INDUSTRIAL LOCOMOTIVE The Quarterly Journal of THE INDUSTRIAL LOCOMOTIVE SOCIETY COMBINED INDEX of Volumes 1 to 7 1976 – 1996 IL No.1 to No.79 PROVISIONAL EDITION www.industrial-loco.org.uk IL COMBO v2 for PDF.doc updated 13-12-2006 INTRODUCTION and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This “Combo Index” has been assembled by combining the contents of the separate indexes originally created, for each individual volume, over a period of almost 30 years by a number of different people each using different approaches and methods. 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.
