PDF-040-2 Page 2 Great Eastern Railway: The Buses 1904-1922 Having watched with interest as the Great Western Railway and the North Eastern Railway commenced motorbus operations and having visited the G.W.R. and seen the operations for themselves, the Great Eastern Railway decided to apply for powers to operate omnibuses, resulting in the Great Eastern Railway (General Powers) Act of 1904. The act granted them powers to operate omnibuses and to carry mail. The G.W.R. had purchased a number of Milnes-Daimlers and, as there was an inducement of 10% discount if three vehicles were purchased, three were duly ordered. On the 18th July 1904 the three 20 hp Milnes-Daimlers commenced the G.E.R.'s first service between Lowestoft, Kessingland and Southwold. The drivers were recruited from the G.E.R.'s locomotive department and were issued with a navy blue uniform, whilst the conductors (recruited mainly from the G.E.R.'s porters) were issued with a khaki and grey uniform.

  • East Anglia Model Railways in 4Mm Scale
    Modelling the Railways of East Anglia in 4mm scale Paul Goldsmith Issue 7.1 February 2018 Modelling the Railways of East Anglia in 4mm Scale INTRODUCTION The initial aim of this document was to list locomotives and rolling stock that operated on the GER, LNE (E), BR (GE Section) and the privatised railway of East Anglia to date, which have been produced as a “ready–to-run” model or as a model “kit” in 4mm scale; however, over the past 10 years the scope has somewhat expanded. In the 1970s the hobby benefited by the etched brass kit “cottage industry”, with Fred Blackman (Mallard Models) producing the first etched brass loco kit (Class D16/3) and subsequently various kits from the late George Pring (George Allen Models), Dave Phillips (Stelfox Models) and Dan Pinnock (D&S Models), to name but a few. This issue has been expanded to 61 pages and includes for the first time, products from the new “cottage industry” of 3D printed models. The document currently specifically omits locomotives and rolling stock that have appeared solely on diversions from other lines, special workings such as Deltic locomotives, troop train workings off other regions and those that operate on preserved lines. We have also only included only a limited amount of information relevant to the M&GN, GN&GE, LTS and LT/Transport for London lines, together with cross London workings and workings from other lines such as the GN and LNW into Cambridge and March. In time, we may address these issues. In general we have not included manufacturer and supplier addresses as these are readily found at: http://www.ukmodelshops.co.uk and from “the Central London Area Group (CLAG)”: http://www.clag.org.uk and click on the link to supplier.text.
