  British Rail Class 121 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The British Rail Class 121 diesel multiple units were built by Pressed Steel in 1960.

The units replaced the previous fleet of Class 108 and Class 115 units, and were supplemented with a fleet of Class 117 units cascaded from Thames Valley services.

 1942 Quiz Book on Railroads and Railroading   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Rails of standard length which are welded together at the ends to form a single rail hundreds or thousands of feet in length are known as "continuous rail." Among the advantages claimed for continuous rail over standard length rail are a smoother track, longer service life, reduced maintenance cost and greater safety.
Rails ranging in weight from 50 to 152 pounds per yard are in use on the railroads of the United States.
The outer rail is elevated to balance the overturning forces that are set up by a train rounding a curve, for the same scientific reason that a circular track for motorcycle, bicycle or motorcar racing is tilted upward from the inner to the outer rim.

 British Anarchism and the Miners Strike
While anarchisms that prioritised liberation from class domination were the dominant forms of libertarianism in Britain at the end of the nineteenth and the start of the twentieth century, by the early 198s5, versions of anarchism based on liberal concepts of agency had come to the fore in Anglo-American circles.
Class War, which is the eponymous newspaper of a non-syndicalist class struggle anarchist grouping, was also uncompromising in its active support for workers in struggle, even if it, too, had criticisms of formal union structures and its leadership (Class War, 1984eb: 3-5).
A further tactic advanced by Class War was 'open[ing] up a second front in the cities to back the miners' (Class War, 1984ec: 3), stretching the sites of resistance from coalfields to the general control of social and community life, and thereby invoking a wider view of the agent for (potential) change.
