		The name of the photographer of the rather grainy fl and white photograph below is not known nor is there any information to indicate the date when the photograph was taken.

	The Great Western diesel railcars - part 3, the Swindon bodies
		The GWR ordered this further batch of railcars in September 1938 but with the Great Western producing the underframes, bogies, brake gear and bodies and AEC supplying the engines and transmissions for construction at Swindon.
		Number 20 was the first car to be taken into GWR stock on the 4th of June 1940 followed by numbers 19 and 21 on the 11th of July.
		Railcar number 33 was therefore rebuilt in March 1954 with a single driving compartment for use with number 38.

	The GWR Steam Rail motor and Trailer Project (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Rail motors were not a GWR idea, nor were they first thought of in the 20th Century.
		Indeed the GWR itself produced a diagram for a petrol-engined vehicle as early as 1903, but this design was never to get further than the drawing board.
		A report for the GWR Traffic Committee in January 1904 notes, for instance, that on the Chalford and Stonehouse Service “the carryings by the motor cars and the local passenger trains average 1,354 pasengers per day and 474,000 per annum.

	The Great Western diesel railcars - part 1, the Park Royal bodies
		Such was the railcar's popularity at the exhibition, it was estimated that 35,000 people or 53.25 per cent of those that paid for admission to Olympia, visited the railcar.
		Within the month however, the railcar was taken out of service for attention to its braking system and method of engine mounting.
		A number of improvements in the design was made on this series, the largest of which was the instalment of two AEC 8.85 litre diesel engines raising the maximum speed to 80 mph.

	Railway Correspondence & Travel Society
		Most conform to a common style which has tended to be upgraded with time: the GWR series is dominated by centre-stapled booklets; the LNER by thin card covered volumes and the later series by (mainly thin) bound volumes.
		His records were subsequently made available to the society and it might therefore be claimed that the RCTS History of The Locomotives of the Great Western Railway is in fact the successor to the officially sanctioned history, ranking it alongside 'MacDermot'.
		Sentinel and Clayton steam railcars, assorted diesel and petrol electric railcars and railbus, multiple units and electric locomotives, including LNER vehicles shared in ownership with LPTB, and tramcars on Grimsby and Immingham Light Railway.

		GWR outside framed 4-4-0 - City or Flower class - very nice but a bit restrictive - better, Dukedog class with option to greate a Bulldog class from the identical chassis.
		As an owner of the old Lima made GWR railcar from the late 70s / early 80s I am glad that Hornby has dusted off the old tooling and hope that the new model has an improved motor.
		The GWR had 99 steam railmotors and they served from the turn of the century to the mid-1930s on branch lines and Plymouth suburban commuter services.

	Gloucester RCW GWR railcars - Gloucestershire Message Boards - Gloucestershire chat and discussions
		The Gloucester Railcar Trust has been rebuilding two former british Railways Class 100 power cars 51104 and 51074 at Blunsdon since 2000, and has also acquired a Class 117 centre coach from the West Somerset Railway.
		However, during some research into Gloucester RCW's earlier diesel railcars built for the Great Western Railway, society members have uncovered a timetable from 1936 for a 'streamlined railcar' service in adition to the steam services, providing a diagram from Cheltenham-Swindon Town (reverse) Swindon Junction-Swindon Town-Cheltenham-Marlborough-Swindon Junction-Cheltenham (via Gloucester).
		This suggests it was diagrammed for a single railcar.

		This photo was taken as the locomotive returned to the shed roads during a "lunch break".
		The color scheme for all GWR passenger stock was "chocolate and cream", so much more refined than the post war "blood and custard" scheme that was imposed on the old GWR system!

		Although the basic shape remainded the same, there was a subtle difference between the units 1 to 18 and 19 to 38 - the early non-GWR built units had a softer, smoother shape to them whereas the later units had a more defined, razor style edge.
		The first unit cost the GWR £3,000 to build plus an additional £245 for installation of the ATC safety system.
		In fact, units 35 / 36 and 37 / 38 were designed to be operated together and to replace the earlier units (numbers 1, 2 and 3) in use on the Birmingham - Cardiff routes.

	Longparish Branch
		When the GWR laid a mixed-gauge line from Oxford to Basingstoke, it offered an important North-South link, but coal still needed to travel via Hereford, Worcester, Oxford, Reading and Basingstoke.
		Work began quickly on Didcot to Newbury section, which opened in April 1882, but the line’s backers were unable to reach agreement with either the LandSWR or the GWR about the line south to Southampton.
		In March 1928 a 4-wheeled Drewry petrol railcar was tried as another economy measure, but this was unsuccessful, and in 1930 it was rebuilt at Ashford before working the New Romney branch, later being sold to the Weston, Clevedon and Portishead Light Railway.

		This volume of Yeadons register, the last to be produced by Willie before he passed away at the fine age of 89, covers the railcars and the Sentinel shunting locomotives, of which there were several types and variations.
		Apart from very detailed histories down to individual class members, there are a lot of well produced photographs and also a generous provision of scale drawings and diagrams, certainly enough information for anyone wishing to make a model.
		All this aside the account of the railcars is a fascinating story in its own right, representing as it does the most successful application of the railcar principle on any British Railway before the GWR's diesel railcars and the later DMUs.
