    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.

    Hampshire Area Garden Railway Group

    Hampshire Area Garden Railway Group (Incorporating the Hampshire area of the Association of 16mm Narrow Gauge Modellers and the Southdown Railway Co.) Associate members of Fareham & District Model Railway Club July 2015 Hello Everyone: Here we go with the July 2015 Newsletter. Pretty short newsletter this month as I’ve been out playing trains in the sunshine. Aside from the progress on the CSLR which now boasts a complete circuit of the garden, ballasting and track fixing/fettling moves forwards and I’ve been able to run a steam train for the first time in 20 months. We travelled with a contingent to visit Ralf Műhlbichler and his 45mm gauge line, the photos show the variety of stock we were able to run. Ralf models in 7/8th’s scale and his engines and stock are therefore much modified but very finely detailed. The first picture shows his BO-BO diesel which features radio control and sound and you may be able to see in the picture that the driver in the cab always faces the direction of travel thanks to some clever servery and linkages. Ralf says the driver is very accommodating although he always answers questions with a “No”… You can also see a Regner 0-6-0 tender loco altered to suit 7/8th’s and detailed tipper cars made by Ralf for his feldbahn. This loco has a modified Regner boiler and burner to suit the model which took some work to get the burner stable but now produces plenty of steam. The visitors (ie us) took along examples of 1:22.5 scale in the form of a Regner Hartz 2-10-2 with detailed LGB/Chinese stock - these have had scale bogies and wheels fitted, the Chinese coaches being resprayed and custom decals applied.
