SUMMARY:Perhaps the 1990s were more Interesting than I Originally Thought!
DESCRIPTION:A look back some three decades (how time flies! – that’s a longer geriod than the ‘Big Four’ lasted)\, to the end of the nationalised railway era. Our presenter David Allen writes: “Suppose I was generally lucky in when a New Year dawned my thoughts were on what was a priority to photograph rather than dwell on what had gone! My ideal view involved interesting infrastructure\, preferably signals and/or signal box with a train passing. Even better if it there were semaphores and the train loco-hauled. Hence\, be warned\, the train might just be one feature of the picture\, not necessarily the dominant one! Whatever\, I managed to keep myself amused\, travelling nationwide. Off course\, this was the transition from BR to Privatisation\, but the opportunities to take interesting views continued.” \nFor this virtual event\, you will require a ticket. Free for RCTS members\, but a £2.50 donation will be requested at the checkout. Non-member tickets are £2.50. (Or you can join the Society in the same transaction to take advantage of members’ benefits) \nTo receive information on coming National (and other) Zoom meetings\, please join the RCTS National Zoom E-mail List (RCTS-National@groups.io) by visiting https://groups.io/g/RCTS-National \, or by e-mail to RCTS-National+subscribe@groups.io.

SUMMARY:East Anglian Railway Heritage
DESCRIPTION:The presentation includes visits to Heritage Railways in East Anglia from 2011 and more frequent trips to the area following the presenters daughter’s move to Norfolk in 2018\, looking at heritage infrastructure on the national railway network and the surprising amount of surviving evidence of the many and varied lines through mainly rural areas many of which closed over 60 years ago.

SUMMARY:40 Years of Preserving Deltics
DESCRIPTION:Physical meeting at Shenfield Parish Hall also available via Zoom as a Hybrid \nThe ‘Deltics’ changed the image of East Coast Main Line in the 1960’s and became perhaps the most iconic of the BR Modernisation diesel locomotives. Fortunately a number of these imposing giants survived into preservation\, largely due to the efforts of the Deltic Preservation Group.  Our speaker\, Murray Brown\, has been chairman of the DPS for 30 years\, during which time the society has been on the main line twice\, built its own depot at Barrow Hill and in recent weeks has started up its third Deltic (D9015 Tulyar) after 27 years! The society has recently topped 1\,000 members which makes it one of the most successful locomotive preservation groups. Murray worked for BR for 18 years\, 14 years of which were in the office which ran the Deltics – he was effectively paid to do his hobby!

SUMMARY:Keeping a heritage railway going in the 2020s using 1950s equipment with all the attendant modern day requirements
DESCRIPTION:Some challenges never change\, such as when winter strikes. Here Phil Pritchard is on snow portering duty\, helping to keep the railway running safely on 3 December 2010. Image credit: David Layland/East Lancs Railway. \nDavid Layland (East Lancashire Light Railway Co Director of Finance and RCTS member) will present an illustrated PowerPoint presentation. He will explain what heritage railways need to do\, in order to operate safely and protect its fare-paying passengers\, its own staff and volunteers and the general public from harm and danger. At the same time as complying with this aim\, much of the technology and equipment being used dates from the 1950s (or earlier). David will explain how the ELR can operate in today’s safety culture and what the future holds for this 12-mile heritage line. \nFor this virtual event\, you will require a ticket. Free for RCTS members\, but a £2.50 donation will be requested at the checkout. Non-member tickets are £2.50. (Or you can join the Society in the same transaction to take advantage of members’ benefits) \nTo receive information on coming National (and other) Zoom meetings\, please join the RCTS National Zoom E-mail List (RCTS-National@groups.io) by visiting https://groups.io/g/RCTS-National \, or by e-mail to RCTS-National+subscribe@groups.io.
