		The GWR's first locomotives - North Star and the Fire Fly class - were supplied by contractors, but as soon as Swindon Works was able to provide the framework for the manufacture of engines, Gooch took the initiative.
		The successor to the Great Western, the Iron Duke class, proved just as durable, with the most famous engine of this class, The Lord of the Isles, clocking up nearly 800,000 miles in 30 years with its original boiler.
		When he was also elected chairman of the GWR later the same year, he was able to support the Swindon cause to its fullest.

		The most notable name falling into this category was "Iron Duke", which had been the name of a flagship battleship in the 1914 Grand Fleet, but which had already been given to 87017.
		As soon as the Class 50's began to have their nameplates fitted a process began of 'twinning' the locomotive with the Royal Navy ship, or shore establishment, of the same name - where such still existed.
		Class 47 and Class 52 nameplates have appeared on ebay in the recent past, so it is quite feasible that one day a Class 50 nameplate will come up for auction.

		The Broad gauge of the GWR had been based on considerable calculation, taking into account the route, levels, curves, the economics of materials and delivery, and the loading gauge of rolling stock and locomotives.
		Brunel however was initially disappointed with the lack of speed attained on his GWR, and believed unsuitable locomotives to be the problem.
		The Iron Duke class had an 8 ft drive wheel, - think about that, 96" of wheel diameter equates to 25 feet of travel with just one full stroke (back and forth) of the piston.

		With the development of the 2-2-2 "Fire Fly" and 4-2-2 "Iron Duke" classes of locomotives by the GWR's Locomotive Superintendent, Sir Daniel Gooch (1816-1889), enormous feats of speed became possible on the broad gauge.
		Speeds of a mile a minute were commonplace, and locomotives of the "Iron Duke" class were occasionally known to achieve a speed of eighty miles an hour.
		After 1865 the Directors of the GWR began a systematic policy of narrowing all broad gauge lines to 4' 8½".

		Force-directed algorithms are a class of algorithms for drawing graphs in an aesthetically pleasing way.
		Their purpose is to position the nodes of a graph in two dimensional or three dimensional space so that all the edges are of more or less equal length and there are as few crossing edges as possible.
		In the case of spring-and-charged-particle graphs, the edges tend to have uniform length (because of the spring forces), and nodes that are not connected by an edge tend to be drawn further apart (because of the electrical repulsion).

		Brunel was one of the first to realize that as a ship was made larger, its' volume grew by a cube factor, but the power required to drive it through the water grew by a square factor, so the bigger the ship, the more economic she was to run.
		She was fitted with a new system of correcting magnets devised by the Astronomer Royal, and Brunel sent two of his colleagues on a voyage on the Rainbow to observe this new device.
		They estimate she loses iron at the rate of 1% per year, and no one knows how to stop it.

		From the GWR's foundation in 1835 right through to the final demise of broad gauge just before the turn of the century, Brunel's broad gauge expresses were the standard against which all other trains were judged.
		Realising that they would be unable to pursue their ultimate aim within an integrated national network they vowed to infiltrate the management and staffing of Western Region (as GWR had become) and build up a power-base which would act if and when the system was re-privatised.
