SUMMARY:Railways Remembered - North East England

SUMMARY:Edward Thompson\, Wartime CME
DESCRIPTION:A Hitchin & Welwyn Garden City Branch presentation. \nPresenter: Simon Martin \n“I have much to do\, gentlemen\, and little time in which to do it”. These words are attributed to Edward Thompson and have been taken in the past as meaning little time in which to enact change\, specifically to the work of his predecessor\, Sir Nigel Gresley. How far was this true\, was the question posed by Simon A.C. Martin when he started his research on the L.N.E.R.’s second C.M.E. over a decade and a half ago.  \nThis presentation showcases the research Simon has put together\, and examines the primary evidence available to the general public\, together with an analytical approach to the statistics held at the National Archives at Kew. We look closely at Edward Thompson’s decision making in the full context of the time on the railway from the period from just before Gresley’s death\, to the years after and the way in which he handed the baton on to Arthur Peppercorn\, after these tumultuous war years.  \nWe then examine each of the designs produced under Thompson\, and the work carried out on his predecessor’s locomotives in relation to the aim to bring the best out of them using the resources available at the time. Finally\, we will have a group discussion on the documents found\, their relative importance\, and ask the question “do you feel differently?” at the end\, after the discussion. \nSimon’s published work on Edward Thompson is available from Strathwood Publishing Limited. https://strathwood.co.uk/products/edward-thompson-wartime-cme-due-in-december-2021-pre-order-today \nDoors open: 19:00

SUMMARY:Steam in the Kings Cross Area - in the 50's and 60's
DESCRIPTION:A Hitchin & Welwyn Garden City Branch presentation. \nPresenter: David Percival. \nIt was in 1953 that the Percival family moved from South London to North Hertfordshire. For the next ten years\, until the end of regular steam in the area\, David spotted at the ECML lineside\, travelled by train to school and latterly commuted to Kings Cross.  \nThis presentation chronicles the variety of steam classes and workings he observed “on the GN” during that decade\, illustrated with photographs from ColourRail and others as well as some of his own pictures taken in the closing years. \nThis photo shows 64206 shunting the morning Hitchin-Hertford ‘pick up’ at Langley Junction on 17 January 1959 (photo by Basil Coles). This image is in the presentation. \nDoors open 13:30.

DESCRIPTION:A presentation from the LCGB/NRM Ken Nunn collection\, by Jeremy Harrison\, of images from 1945 into the 1950s. \nThis was a period of rapid change\, as the railways changed from their drab\, run down appearence at the end of the war\, to a bright\, clean new order\, with the first glimpses of modernisation and a move from steam\, as Nationalisation initiated some great changes. \nFor this virtual event\, you will require a ticket.
