So join up and gel the lull benefits! 2 STEAM UP FOR CHRISTMAS Eighty years ago Rodney Weaver, Simon Townsend It is a fine December afternoon in 1910 as our time machine touches down in Grove Road, Totley, on the southern outskirts of Sheffield. We are outside Brook House and through the gate we see that a little way past the house the drive appears to be blocked by a low, sloping bridge. This turns out to be removable and connects an elevated 7V4in gauge track in the workshop to our left with the end of a siding on the opposite side of the drive. Standing on the siding just beyond the bridge is a brand new Bassett-Lowke Precursor coupled to a low bogie passenger car, and here we meet our host Guy Mitchell. We're about to sample his recently-completed 7V4in railway, the first truly scenic line to follow Henry Greenly's recommended standards for the gauge. As we make ourselves comfortable, Mitchell points out a loading gauge further down the siding. "Make sure it doesn't touch you", he warns, "because if it does you're too big to go through the tunnel!" - and we're off. Almost at once we begin to gather speed as the line dips downwards and we see that another line has appeared alongside us in the cutting. A gradient post tells us this line is going down at 1 in 77, so we must be on something like 1 in 60 - and we're on a curve that's not much more than 40ft radius with quite a lot of superelevation. Signals appear ahead, showing clear for the right-hand line; we click through a set of sprung points onto the main line, then see a very sharp curve branch away to the left. Already it is getting dark at the bottom of the valley and to our left we glimpse something throwing sparks high in the air - another train no doubt. We look ahead just in time to see a brick portal and than we're inside Brook Tunnel doing at least lOmph and still on a falling gradient, though only 1 in 250. Despite the assurance of the loading gauge, we duck instinctively to avoid the unseen brickwork above us! We feel the change to 1 in 80 up as the train hits the curve just before the far end of the tunnel and catch a glimpse of something like a 7lA in Tich at a signal to our left. Passing South Junction the line begins a gentle descent to run round two sides of a small ornamental lake. Signals ahead show clear for the right-hand road as we pass East Junction and then PRECURSOR really starts to bark up the climb at 1 in 80/85 through a small rose garden, reaching a summit alongside the siding from whence we started. Down through the tunnel again, round the lake and this time the train takes the left-hand turnout at East Junction. A gentle climb and fall brings us to Central Junction; we keep to the left and now pass a signal box complete with oil lamp and baskets of flowers on the front platform. Through the windows we glimpse an eighteen lever frame. This time we are stopped by signals at South Junction until a whistle behind us indicates that whatever is sharing the track has reached Central. Off again round the lake we find Central's signals clear for the right-hand road and immediately heel over on a 25ft radius curve with an inch of superelevation. This is enough for 7mph and we've already realised that. Mitchell likes to drive fast, but this particular curve he treats with the greatest respect. Back on the main line, running clockwise, we climb the 1 in 77 to the summit and drop down carefully to East Junction where the signal is showing red. This gives us a chance to examine the inner loop which we now realise has three rails, the inner pair being only 3% in gauge. Moments later there appears along the inner track a chunky, large-boilered 3 0-4-2 tank fitted with a tall chimney extension to carry the exhaust above the driver's face. The driver is squatting on a driving truck that would look more at home on an elevated track, for it too is 3Viin gauge. This is Mitchell's original garden railway, now incorporated into his 7V4in layout. Separating the gauges so that the centre rail is common is a clever idea which permits dual gauge operation without the need for mixed gauge points. The signal drops and we're off again, taking the left fork at South Junction to go through the tunnel and thus back to the summit, where we get off. After the variety of routes we have taken it comes as a surprise to learn that we've covered no more than 1670ft: the outer track is 439ft round and the inner 330ft. The whole railway is compressed into a space about 150ft x 120ft! It's a bit different from the layouts we have back in 1990, but some things haven't changed much.

    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.
