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

SUMMARY:WEN Geoff Hudson : The Class 50 Story – The British Rail Years
DESCRIPTION:Our second meeting of our 2025/26 welcomes Geoff Hudson former Area Fleet Manager\, Laira Depot\, Plymouth 1989 – 1996 \nClass 50’s or D400’s as built were the last batch of first-generation diesel locomotives introduced by British Rail under the Modernisation Plan which saw the demise of steam and the transition to diesel traction. Constructed between 1967 and 1968 Class 50 built on the experience gained with the earlier pioneer diesel locomotives\, and was designed with\, for then\, a host of new systems including inertia filtration\, rheostatic braking\, slow speed control and\, more importantly\, the first-generation electronic traction control. \nThe locomotives were ordered\, initially as an interim measure\, to provide traction for the northern end of the West Coast Mainline. By the mid 1960’s electrification had reached Crewe and a 100mph locomotive capable of tackling the major inclines of Shap and Beattock was needed to take over from electric traction for the onward journey to Glasgow. On completion of the electrification the class was transferred to the Western Region of British Rail to allow the diesel hydraulic Western Class 52 locomotives to be withdrawn. \nGeoff Hudson\, former Area Fleet Manager at Laira Depot Plymouth\, has had a close association with the class throughout his 50-year railway career and was responsible for the operation and rundown in their final years. In this lecture he explores the origin and development that lead to Class 50\, their operation and maintenance\, including the reasons for and scope of the extensive refurbishment programme\, and the final years and rundown of the class that ultimately lead to preservation of a significant number of the fleet. \nWe hope you can join us for what promises to be a fascinating evening \nPLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE OF DATE FROM OUR NORMAL EVENING

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”)
