	Distributed Power vs Centralized Power: which way now? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Although steam railcars were experimentally built by railways throughout the 3rd world during the 1930s and 1940s, they were used on branch-line services which would have otherwised carried only a single coach, and as such they were not truly distributed power units.
		Although two steam railcars could be linked together to form a service, a driver and fireman is required for each coach and they could simply be considered as two light engines with passenger seating accommodation.
		LMS, through acquisition and mergers prior to the nationalization of British Railways in 1948, came to control two of the most heavily graded mainlines in the United Kingdom.

		David Jenkinson (1934 — 27 April 2004) was a railway modeller and historian, who had a particular interest in the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) and was president of the LMS Society.
		Jenkinson was born in Leeds and educated at Prince Henry's Grammar School, Otley, which in 1951 took him to a field trip to the Settle--Carlisle Railway line (SandC), which would start a lengthy relationship with that line.
		Alone and with Essery he authored many books, the most important was their book on LMS Coaches, which was groundbreaking in its treatment of a non-locomotive subject.

		The end loading bay and yard bay tracks are normally under the control of the yard but can be switched to the UP line for various stock movements.
		In addition, the head shut at the end of the UP line can be switched to the yard controller to allow locomotives, railcars and DMU's to be moved from the yard to the bay platforms ready for use.
		This allows a railcar or DMU to be run from the single track storage yard to the bay and then sent back at some time later.

	GWR railcars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1933, the Great Western Railway introduced the first of what was to become a very successful series of railcars, which survived in regular use into the 1960s, when they were replaced with the new British Rail First Generation type Diesel multiple units.
		Below is a full list of GWR railcars:
		Three of the GWR Railcars have survived into preservation, as follows:

		An interesting design, bought in small numbers by both the LMS and LNER.
		The Sentinel company was well known for the production of steam-powered road vehicles, but also made quite a number of steam railcars (mainly associated with the LNER).
		A pity, really, that no-one makes a kit for the two Sentinels bought by the S and D - unfortunately, they were a completely different design to this one.

		The LMS experimented widely with diesel propulsion, to the extent that their ultimate diesel shunter design was adopted with few changes as the BR standard "08" design.
		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.
		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.

		No 6515 was next reported loaned to the LMS in April 1929 for trials at the Shropshire Union Goods Yard in Shrewsbury, which resulted in subsequent sales.
		It has often been said that the Sentinel railcar would have been ideal for his lines and we know of his interest in the economies of geared railcars from his early trials with the KandESRs Pickering Railcar.

		The first orders built at Derby were a compromise, featuring the English Electric engine and transmission but using the single large traction motor mounted above the frames in the engine compartment and driving the wheels through a jackshaft arrangement, as initially featured in the 1933 Armstrong Whitworth design.
		Delivered new in June 1940 as LMS 7097 it ended its days at Slag Reduction, Rotherham in August 1968.
		In 1940 LMS 7074 became the guinea pig for the engineers to solve the problem of overheating in the English Electric design.

		Raising the boiler pressure on these locomotives from 175 to 2001b/sq in a bid to improve performance had increased power but also the maintenance needed and soon the pressure was brought back down to 175 1b/sq in.
		While the design for the ‘V’ class was being prepared, the GNR(I) sent men over to the LMS to experience and learn from the compounds in use in Britain at the time.
		The main dimensions of the LMS design (one of which, No.1000, is preserved at York) included 6ft 9in driving wheels, a 19in x 26in high-pressure cylinder and two 21in x 26in low-pressure cylinders.

		The company also built the famous 40-ton bogie hopper wagons which the LMS used to transport coal for electricity generation to Stonebridge Park.
		Some of the less well known of the company's products were the carriages for Sentinel steam railcars, petrol railcars and diesel electric railcars for the USA and Argentina.

		Although their output was normally quoted as 350hp to match the English Electric machines, the fuel racks and governors could be set to allow operation of the engine at 400hp at 1,000rpm.
		After this prestigous duty the railcar lost its lavish fittings and returned to more normal passenger duties, eventually being purchased by the LNER in 1934.
		Operation of the railcar was by an LNER steam locomotive driver with only three hours training on the railcar!

	The Class 37/4 Locomotives (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The Class 37s were built from 1960 by the English Electric Company at the Vulcan Foundry, alongside the railway at Newton-le-Willows, Lancashire, although their general appearance owes much to the first diesels built by the LMS company in the 1940s, which in turn were inspired by the classic American 'cab-unit' diesels.
		They are diesel-electric machines, powered by a 1750 HP engine coupled to an electrical alternator which supplies a separate traction motor for each axle on the two three-axle bogies, making a Co-Co wheel arrangement.
		These class 37/4 locos are now the mainstay of the North Wales services, while most of their original workings are now handled by diesel railcars.

		Locomotive pictures are plentiful, but not to the exclusion of other aspects of the LMS scene such as architecture, signalling and the non-railway features of that large company.
		Those accustomed to the narrow confines of the modern railway will be amazed at the range of activities of the LMS in Ireland.

		After graduating Jenkinson joined the Royal Air Force (RAF) in 1956, from which he retired in 1972 having acheived the rank of Squadron Leader.
		During this time he built his 4mm scale EM gauge models Maithwaite and Garsdale Road (see Garsdale) representing a station on the S&C set during the 1930s period when it was run by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS).
