  • 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.

  • Heartwood – Robert Hudson & Tim Hildebrandt Revisit “Nothin' Fancy,”
    Heartwood – Robert Hudson & Tim Hildebrandt revisit “Nothin’ Fancy,” a “lost” Southern Rock belle January 13th, 2009 2 Comments The 1970s were, for many, the glory days of Southern Rock. All across the south great music could be heard from bands such as The Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Outlaws, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Wet Willie, Marshall Tucker Band and many more. Of those bands that “made it,” dozens more enjoyed a run of regional popularity, soaking up the applause in back-road bars, juke joints and clubs. One such band was Heartwood, whose drummer Robert Hudson’s Web site provides the following history on the seven-piece country-rock outfit. “Heartwood formed in Greenville, NC, in early 1972. The band was originally called The Band from Clayroot which was a little crossroads outside of Greenville. We recorded our first album in a studio in Baily, NC. It was at that time that we changed our name due to pressure from the record company that was concerned about the ‘obvious’ sexual connotation of the word clayroot. We played throughout North Carolina. Just after releasing the album, it was bought by GRC Records based in Atlanta. Their new A&R guy decided that the record should be re-recorded at their new studio in Atlanta. We went in the studio and recorded all the tracks and the ‘new’ Heartwood album was released. Our management company, also located in Atlanta started booking us in Georgia and Alabama a lot so we decided to move to Athens, GA. to be closer to our record company and the new area of gigs.

    COMPREHENSIVE PLAN July 26, 2018 _______________________________________ Centralia Comprehensive Plan 2025 Page 1 STATEMENT OF CONTRIBUTORS Planning and Zoning Chairman H. LeeAllen Smith I believe that this document should be treated as an ongoing process. It lays out the general direction that the Planning and Zoning Commission, and the committees that have spent their time and energy to develop, believe is the proper direction. Things will change as the city grows and this document is not set in stone, changes in various parts are imminent. As a former Alderman, I feel that it is vital that every member of the Centralia Board of Alderman, current and newly elected, Planning and Zoning Commission, the Park Director, and city department foremen, should read The Centralia Comprehensive Plan 2025 so they will have a general idea as to the direction the city should be moving in future growth and a better understanding of why this direction is important. I would also like to personally thank everyone for their hard work on this plan.

  • RT Models 7Mm Scale, 0 Gauge Hudson Tipper Wagon Kit History
    RT Models 7mm Scale, 0 gauge Hudson Tipper wagon kit History Robert Hudson at Gildersome Works near Morley, Leeds had been producing side tipping wagons for light railways and contractors since before the 1880s. Hudson set up the works in 1865 for general foundry and engineering production. The company was registered as a limited company in 1914 with an authorised share capital of £300,000, and went public in 1948. The end came virtually in 1982 when the Gildersome site was sold, but some work continued elsewhere for a further three years. They patented the unique rolling centre pivot three point tipping mechanism for light railway tipping cars in 1875. This design allowed the triangular shaped skip to be stable in normal position but to allow a man to single-handedly tip the contents out, and for the body to remain stable in a fully tipped right or left hand position. Initially production concentrated on skips for light narrow gauge and this is what most people associate with Hudsons, the type could be found in quarries and mines everywhere. It used steel pressings in the main combining a high degree of ruggedness with a light weight. In about 1937 the trade name ‘Rugga’ was applied to these small skips to an improved design. Similarly during the 20th Century larger versions became popular, especially with collieries, and numerous standard gauge vehicles of 300 cu. ft. capacity were sold to mines and the National Coal Board for disposing of mine stone, and were still doing so until the early 1980s. They were also to be found used by contractors for spoil clearance and land reclamation, in chalk quarries, and for the disposal of sewage sludge.
