SUMMARY:Welsh Narrow Gauge Railways : A Personal View 1990 - 2024
DESCRIPTION:Alan Williams has been taking photos of the Welsh narrow gauge since I was a young lad\, but it became a serious endeavour during the 1990s and since then I have accumulated a wealth of material\, enough for a second show if the first one goes OK. It will be a personal view\, not a potted history\, and I will cover the developments and changes over the last 30 years as I saw them.

SUMMARY:On Great Eastern Metals From 1991 to Date
DESCRIPTION:Physical meeting at Shenfield Parish Hall \nOur member\, Geoff Brocket\, is a prolific photographer\, who always seems to be able to get the photos that no one else can. This outing covers photos on the Great Eastern Railway from 1991 to the present day.  Like many of us\, Geoff prefers locos to multiple units so expect to see the whole range of motive power used on this line over the last 25 years or so. \nAs these images are on 35mm slides\, it is not possible to offer this talk via Zoom. \n

SUMMARY:The Ivatt LMS 10000 Recreation Project
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Ivatt Diesel Re-creation Society plan to recreate\, and operate 10000. \nIn the first half of this presentation we look at the original twins LMS 10000 and 10001 (the first British mainline diesel electric locomotives)\, and their place in history.   10000 and 10001 were designed by H.G. Ivatt and built by the LMS at their Derby Loco Works in 1947 / 48.  These locos proved many parts and concepts that are still in use on the  railway network today.  However before the  preservation movement had started to take notice of historically important diesel  locomotives\, 10000 was scrapped in 1968. \nIn the second half of this presentation we look at the current project which is planning to recreate 10000.  In recent years this has progressed to the construction of a locomotive chassis in 2022.

SUMMARY:CHM Branch - An 11th Colour-Rail journey - 1964 - an interesting year
DESCRIPTION:For the first meeting of our 2024/25 season we welcome Paul Chancellor back to present the 11th iteration of his ‘A Colour-Rail Journey. This will focus on 1964 – an interesting year. The gloom hanging over the country’s railway system following publication of the report The Reshaping of Britain’s Railways had yet to completely descend\, so there was much for enthusiasts to still enjoy and photograph. We see the fruits of their labours collected and remastered by the Colour-Rail team.
