	LSWR Coaches: Tri-Composite Brake (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The carriage is a 56ft x 8ft 6¾ins Brake Tri-Composite that was built by the LSWR in 1903 to drawing 1190, later sketched as SR diagram 407.
		There were 10 of these and the design was unique on the LSWR in that it was the only type of non-corridor carriage built to the same width as the corridor stock that was first introduced on the LSWR at the same authorisation committee meeting.
		Originally it had normal LSWR guards duckets with the large windows extending into the ducket, but this brought the overall width out to 9ft 3ins, which became a loading gauge embarrassment in SR days, so the duckets were cut out, plain straight corner pillars were put in and small steel SR type lookouts were fitted.

	London and South Western Railway Luggage Labels Overview
		The LSWR, along with the SER, was keen on colour coding for its routes but that admirable concept was obviously abandoned at some point in time and saw the universal introduction of blue labels for a while which, in their turn, were superseded by just plain old white.
		One feature common to all LSWR luggage labels is the application of the stock number '787' except on the rare occasions where the printer has accidentally forgotten to typeset it.
		The LSWR assortment of label types falls into a neat set of categories based on different formatting of titles, formatting of the destination (font and style) and the inclusion or otherwise of a 'from' line.

	London and South Western Railway (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The LSWR installed the first British automatic signals controlled by track circuit on the line between Woking and Basingstoke, these were fully operational by 1907.
		In 1915 the first of the LSWR electrified lines began operations, using the third rail system which was to become dominant in the subsequent Southern Railway.
		Dapol have released a model of an LSWR gunpowder van, they release their models in short runs to allow the production of a range of liveries, so you may need to wait a while for this livery to re-appear.

	LSWR Type 1 Signalboxes on the Mid-Hants Railway
		The locking room was usually made out of brick, as in the case of the MHR boxes, but stone was sometimes used in areas where this was available locally, such as the West Country.
		The design was used between around 1871 and 1880, a period when a lot of new boxes were required, as the LSWR was introducing interlocked frames and absolute block working throughout its network.
		Two of these levers were of the three position sort: a device commonly employed by the LSWR whereby two signals could be operated from one lever.

		The Extension Railway was financially stronger than the North Devon Railway, although in 1862 it was leased by the LSWR and amalgamated along with the North Devon Railway in 1865.
		The LSWR became a constituent of the new Southern Railway when the Big Four were formed at the 1923 grouping of the country’s railways.
		The motive power was improved with the withdrawal of aged LSWR designs and their replacement with Ivatt Class 2 2-6-2Ts.

	LSWR Arc-Roofed Carriage Kits from Bill Bedford (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Etchings for four new LSWR Arc-roofed coach kits - a 29'6" First of 1882; a 30' Second of 1886-1890; a 34' Third of 1882; and a 34' Brake Third of 1886-90 have recently been produced by Bill Bedford.
		Doors on LSWR coaches of this era were fitted with draughtproofing strips which are clearly visible on photographs.
		They certain have the character of late 19th century LSWR coaches but, as is often the case when building a kit, the character has been enhanced by additional effort and research into detail.

	Alextrack - Railways - Topsham - LSWR Books
		The LSWR was the largest of the three companies that came together in 1923 to form the Southern Railway and had a diverse collection of coaching stock including rail motors and electric units.
		It soon carried enough traffic to justify the LSWR doubling most of its length and a new Barnstaple Town station opened in 1898 to connect with the narrow gauge to Lynton.
		From the railway workshops, drawing offices and loco-sheds of Swindon, along LSWR routes and the GWR lineto the tiny rural stations and halts in the countryside are shown in 130 contemporary photos, notices, tickets and documents.

	The Colonel Stephens Museum - A short history of the Bere Alston and Calstock Light Railway
		More dealing with the LSWR had by 1903 secured their support provided the line was kept as a separate light railway undertaking.
		The LSWR refused to work the new branch, so Stephens was asked in October 1905 to obtain some second hand LSWR engines, the Board even deciding at their following meeting on the three names to be used (all directors).
		It was hoped to hire the coaches pending absorption by the LSWR under the Railways Act but this approach had to be dropped because of legal difficulties.

	Subterranea Britannica: SB-Sites:
		The LSWR refused to support the scheme and there were considerable opposition from existing ferry operators but this was dropped when the new company agreed to let other operators use their pier.
		Once ownership had been transferred the LSWR were keen to improve the service as it provided the shortest and most convenient route to the Isle of Wight.
		After the war the LSWR did not reopen the line to passengers and in 1922 sold the pier and the line south of Gosport Road station to the Admiralty who converted the pier into a torpedo station but had no use for the railway which was replaced by a narrow gauge line.

	Tight LSWR market set to boost spot premiums
		Singapore, Oct 26: A tightening of low sulphur waxy residue (LSWR) supplies in November is expected to boost spot premiums, traders said on Monday.
		A few LSWR suppliers were widely said to be testing premiums of around 70-80 cents to the Pertamina formula for November,compared with the last deal done at 30-40 cents for October, traders said.

	HMRS transfer: SR Maunsell loco and coach insignia (inc. LSWR - but not crest)
		Photos should be consulted where possible as LSWR insignia styles, spacing and positions varied considerably.
		From about 1900-1912 small letters LSWR were used, usually in the centre of the vehicle with number towards each end.
		Class markings were as before except on the bogie block trains, which had the large figures 1, 2 or 3 in the lower door panels until about 1909, after which they had 1st etc. in the door waist panels.

		The main item of business was a presentation “The LSWR in Colour” by Dennis Tillman which comprised images of many paintings by railway artists, together with some colour slides.
		They will shortly be doing an engineering survey to enable an accurate an estimate as possible of the work required before launching the main fund raising effort, and are soliciting donations to fund this.
		They are all scratch built (and very well done too) from plasticard (with one exception) with all the planking well scribed in and all relevant strapping.

	CULG - District Line
		After the split with the Metropolitan, the District (as it soon became known) saw its main hope as a line to carry commuters from the rich suburbs of the southwest into the central area; subsequently this would be enhanced by extending into the countryside and encouraging new building.
		Eventually the LSWR agreed to build a shorter extension to Wimbledon, to be operated by the District, in exchange for continued running rights to High Street Kensington - rights it never used.
		In 1926 the LSWR tracks from Studland Road Junction to Gunnersbury were leased to the Underground group in perpetuity; ownership was formally transferred on 1950-01-23.

	- CRANLEIGH RAILWAY - The Line's History: Delays & Problems
		There was quite some rivalry between LSWR and LBSCR, and it was seen by the former, that LBSCR were intruding into their area.
		The LSWR wrote to LBSCR stating that they would oppose any request for powers to use their line and station at Guildford.
		But the threat of going to parliament persuaded the LSWR and by 13th May 1861 an agreement was made.

	The North Cornwall Railway (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In the early years a horse bus took pasengers to and from the town centre and until 1920 the LSWR subsidised another from Boscastle and Tintagel.
		The quarry came right up to the edge of the goods yard, which caused the LSWR some concern, though the Slate Company assured the railway that it was safe and no unfortunate event proved them wrong.
		The loading facilities were provided for the Slate Company by the LSWR rather than the NCR, as was a siding to the Trebarwith quarries.

		Both the LSWR and LBSC were joined by the lines of the South Eastern and Chatham Railway.
		Not surprisingly it chose the LSWR third rail system as the Southern Railway management was dominated by ex-LSWR managers.
		The decision did not prevent the completion of the last LBSC electrification to Coulsdon North and Sutton in 1925 but it meant that before the equipment was run in it would be replaced.

		It had a special LSWR train of the period of 2 coaches in the colourful LSWR livery of salmon and brown.
		As well as the later Craven coaches and the final LSWR coaches, from the beginning there had been a set of 5 LB&SCR 4 wheelers dating from the 1870s.
		The 'interloper', the LSWR Drummond K10, no.142, is in early 1900s livery, a little out-of-period for the layout.

		They had two unusual features, being fitted with two lavatories per coach, a rare facility in those days, and a luggage section which formed half the length of the coach.
		This latter feature was intended to accommodate the baggage of ocean-liner passengers using the LSWR's "Ocean Liner Expresses" from Waterloo to Plymouth and Southampton, as well as the Boat Trains for the Cross-Channel services operating from Weymouth, Southampton and Portsmouth.
		On these trains they were hauled at speeds of up to 90 mph by the LSWR's famous T9 "Greyhound" 4-4-0s.

	Robert Urie, his son & possible other relative
		Marshall notes that Robert Urie was born at Ardeer (Ayrshire) 22 October 1854 and died in Largs on 6 January 1937.
		He was educated at Glasgow High School and in 1869 began a six year apprenticeship at Gauldie, Marshall and Co; Dubs and Co, and William King and Co. He then worked as a draughtsman at various locomotive builders until joining the Caledonian Railway as draughtsman under D.
		In January 1913 he succeeded Drummond as CME, but was 58 when appointed, holding the post until the LSWR was absorbed into the SR when he retired.

	Wessex Lines
		The imposing new station at Bournemouth Central opened in 1888 as part of a new LSWR cut-off route connecting Brockenhurst directly to Bournemouth, bringing the latter 8.5 miles nearer to Waterloo.
		Holton Heath halt (opened in 1916) and adjacent exchange sidings were provided by the LSWR to serve this sprawling site, which operated its own narrow guage railway serving both the works and an adjacent jetty.
		In addition to scheduled services there was a large amount of special traffic, principally summer excursions and perishables trains from Weymouth Quay, which saw a large variety of SR, WR and LMR motive power.

	Pinhaven Harbour
		The Crompton is a superdetailed Lima model and the 3TC unit was converted from Mainline Mk1 coaches much the same as BR converted loco hauled Mk1s to TCs.
		This layout was built on the highly dubious premise that the LSWR built a ferry port on a river estuary somewhere in West Dorset or East Devon to rival the GWR's port at Weymouth.
		It proved to be such a success despite its single track approach (caused by local topography) that the Southern Railway expanded it in the 1930s making use of Government capital work grants.

	Romsey 4. Club Layout, Southampton Model Railway Society (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In order to be prototypical the fleet should reflect a larger percentage of opens to vans, 70%/30% in the case of the LSWR at the Grouping in 1923, but at present the van content is much higher.
		It could be argued that this was in part due to the close proximity of Southampton Docks, but in the period modelled most commodities were still transported in open wagons, with or without tarpaulins.
		Inevitably, some Bachmann N class moguls have found their way on to the layout, and a few GW types, used on MSWJ and through Cardiff services, are also from the Bachmann and former Mainline ranges.

		S3193S was built in June 1923 at Eastleigh, just as the Southern Railway (SR) was formed from LSWR, the London Brighton and South Coast Railway, and the South Eastern and Chatham Railway – plus one or two other small oddments.
		It was built to LSWR diagram 24(c) and originally numbered 1357, though by November 1928 SR had renumbered the diagram 213.
		The LSWR were pioneers in this form of construction, so that, together with their particularly ‘well-fed’ look, the coaches very quickly attracted to themselves the soubriquet.

	Financial Express: Winter demand set to mop up LSWR cargoes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Singapore, Nov 24: Indonesia is seen allocating a higher volume of low sulphur waxy residue (LSWR) for December than November, but confidence reigned that much of the volume will be easily absorbed during the peak winter demand season, traders said on Tuesday.
		They said expectations were rife Indonesia's state monopoly, Pertamina, would allocate around 2.6-2.7 million barrels of LSWR later in the week.
		Traders noted spot LSWR prices needed to be at least $4.00 per barrel lower than Nymex's January contract before any arbitraging to the US was deemed feasible.
