  • Tornado Update Lamppost
    The Tornado Telegraph | Issue 101 | January 2019 Welcome to Issue No. 101 of The Tornado Telegraph. This issue of The Tornado Telegraph will provide an update on No. 60163 Tornado. As Tornado enters back into steam in 2019, the Trust would ask that those who are not regular monthly donors to consider coming on board in what we hope will be a successful year for The A1 Steam Locomotive Trust. The Tornado Telegraph TORNADO UPDATE It is with considerable regret that we have to announce that the ‘The North Briton’ on Saturday 9th February from the East Midlands to Carlisle via the Settle & Carlisle Railway has had to be postponed and re‑dated to September 2019 – we are hoping to have confirmation of the precise date within a few days. Following its test run earlier this month it was identified that No. 60163 Tornado had suffered some damage to a motion bush as a result of a minor deflection to the combination lever on the driver’s side. During the test run, Trust personnel had noticed that Tornado was slightly off‑beat – something impossible to detect until the locomotive had left the 25mph Nene Valley Railway and picked up speed on the Network Rail main line. Investigations to‑date lead us to believe that this damage was caused during a priming (water carry over) incident whilst operating a photo charter train on the Nene Valley Railway during our last couple of weeks of operations. It was, however, not possible to identify the cause of the damage to the motion bush without significant dismantling of the engine.

  • Number 71 – September/October 2004
    PRESERVED COACHING STOCK OF BRITISH RAILWAYS AMENDMENT SHEET NUMBER 71 September/October 2004 SPECIAL AND CHARTER TRAIN COACHING STOCK 1) Old Oak Common Fire During the evening of 5 th September a fire started in Fragonset Railways Mark 1 RBR 1981 stabled at Old Oak Common. The London Fire Brigade preliminary investigation concluded that the fire had been caused as a result of the boiler in the kitchen area of the carriage having been left on and consequently boiling dry. The consequential fire then burnt through the bottom of the boiler, then through the aluminium floor of the kitchen before spreading through the whole carriage and to adjacent carriages before being brought under control by the fire brigade. In addition to the extensive damage to 1981 it is understood that Mark 2 FOs 3429 and 3300 coupled either side of it were severely damaged along with lesser damage to FO 3337 coupled to 3300. On adjacent sidings and extensively damaged were Mark 2 TSOs 5814 and 5816 on one side and Mark 2 TSOs 5389 SIR GALAHAD and 5420 LYONNESSE on the other. Other carriages close by also suffered from smoke damage. 2) Fragonset Railways Mark 1 RBR 1657 has been acquired from the Llangollen Railway (see below) and moved to the companies Derby workshops. An extensive overhaul is now taking place prior to this carriage entering service to replace fire damaged RBR 1981 (see above). 3) Riviera Trains Mark 2 TSO 5275 has been taken out of use and disposed of as shown below.

  • News Update July 2017
    Council of Tramway Museums of Australasia Inc. www.cotma.org.au News Update July 2017 From the Chairman Welcome to our third COTMA News Update for 2017. In this issue we report on the recent FEDECRAIL conference held in Antwerp, Belgium and attended by Warren Doubleday, and the NZ FRONZ conference in Dunedin which I attended. As I write this I am preparing to travel to Melbourne for the COTMA AGM on Tuesday (25 July) and an Executive meeting which will follow. At the Executive meeting we have a number of important issues to discuss, including spare parts - note the references further below to Wellington (trolley bus closure), and PC5 equipment, as well as getting an update on Melbourne W’s and equipment. All member museums will have received an invitation to the AGM and should by now have indicated whether they will be attending. The annual conference of the Federation of Rail Organisations of NZ (FRONZ) was well attended by both railway and tramway groups from around N.Z. and included rail trips on the Taieri Gorge line and on the main line to Oamaru as well as visits to the local Gasworks Museum, the Ocean Beach Railway and Toitu Otago Settlers Museum which includes in its collection former Maryhill Cable car No. 106, Roslyn Electric tram No. 1 (restored at Ferrymead) and Dunedin Trolley bus No 10. The Settlers Museum was the venue for an informative talk about the Dunedin Cable car systems and proposals to set up an operating cable car museum using restored cable cars from Ferrymead.

The HRA Awards recognise a wide range of achievements and distinctions across the entire heritage railway industry, and the awards acknowledge individuals and institutions as well as railways. The February 6th event saw the presentation of awards in eight categories. The National Railway Museum and York Theatre Royal won the Morton’s Media (Heritage Railways) Interpretation Award, for an innovative collaboration that joined theatre with live heritage steam, when the Museum acted as a temporary home for the theatre company. The Railway Magazine Annual Award for Services to Railway Preservation was won by David Woodhouse, MBE, in recognition of his remarkable 60-year heritage railways career, which began as a volunteer on the Talyllyn Railway, and took him to senior roles across the heritage railways and tourism industry. The North Yorkshire Moors Railway won the Morton’s Media (Rail Express) Modern Traction Award, for their diesel locomotive operation, which included 160 days working for their Crompton Class 25. There were two winners of the Steam Railway Magazine Award. The Great Little Trains of North Wales was the name used by the judges to describe the Bala Lake Railway, Corris Railway, Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railway, Talyllyn Railway, Vale of Rheidol Railway and the Welshpool & Llanfair Railway.
