SUMMARY:TVY Branch - My time inside the Wall - Memories of Swindon Works
DESCRIPTION:Martin\, who is well known to many of our RCTS Branch members\, having been the host of our successful Swindon Works railway sites tour which we ran last year\, comes from a long family line of Swindon railway employees. In this talk Martin will give us some of his personnel experiences of life inside Swindon Works in the 1970s and 80s. Martin started his railway career in the early 1970s\, taking up an apprenticeship in the railway works\, before moving on to do a number of roles within the works. In this talk Martin will give us some stories and details of the various activities and projects he worked upon within the works\, during his nine years of Swindon works employment.

SUMMARY:The Epping and Ongar Railway

SUMMARY:Sugar\, Steam and Sunsets (Java)
DESCRIPTION:A Hitchin and Welwyn Garden City Branch presentation by David Longman. \nIn the early years of this century\, David Longman made a series of trips to photograph the remaining steam locomotives working on the narrow gauge sugar lines in Java.  Unwilling to join an organised group he travelled the length of the island by bus\, motorcycle and becak\, locating the various ‘pabrik gula’ and bringing back a snapshot not only of the railways but also the lives of the people of this Indonesian island.  Whilst there is now little or nothing left of these wonderful little railways\, as road transport has rendered them largely redundant\, David will be recalling the people he met\, the ‘Beast Of Tasik Madu’ and places his visited during his photographic wanderings. \nDoors open 13:30 for a 14:00 start. \nThere will be an extended interval break! (with Christmas “nibbles”)

SUMMARY:Not So Much a Hobby\, More A Way of Life
DESCRIPTION:Physical meeting at Shenfield Parish Hall which will also be available on Zoom as a Hybrid Meeting. \nJim grew up in Stepney Green and his love of railways started when his father took him to Kings Cross to ‘watch the trains’. He remembers seeing A3 Pacifics ‘Pretty Polly’ and ‘Blair Athol’. The latter painted in early British Railways express passenger blue at the time\, made an  impressive start from Platform 10\, with her six big driving wheels slipping violently on the wet\, greasy rails. Living in East London meant that he was within easy reach of all the main London Termini. His favourite was the ‘old’ Euston and its Princess Royal Pacifics. He joined British Rail on leaving school. With the decline of steam and having little interest in modern traction he developed and interest in passenger stations particularly the wonderfully oversized buildings on the North London Railway which led to Jim founding the North London Railway Historical Society in 1989 of which he is currently the chairman. \nJim’s talk looks at railway enthusiasm\, largely in the twentieth century\, and includes many of the items which were produced for enthusiasts and budding enthusiasts over the years. These include books\, magazines\, models\, jigsaw puzzles and gramophone records\, along with the expensive O-Gauge models offered by Bassett-Lowke tantalisingly displayed in their Holborn showroom. No doubt there will also be a fair selection of contemporary images of locos\, trains and stations too. \n
