	Steve's Page on British Rail Diesels - The "Crompton" (class 33)
		Locomotives that received this livery change after 1968 also lost the D from the front of their number at this time as there was no longer a need to distinguish them from steam locomotives.
		Locomotive D6530 was the first Crompton to be involved in an accident involving serious damage when it ran down an embankment at Gravesend West which resulted in the locomotive bearing a crease in one side for many years afterwards.
		Between 1966 and 1971 the locomotives were all repainted into BR blue and while the yellow end and window surrounds were retained, the white stripe down the side of the locomotive was removed.

	Great Western Railway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The initial group of locomotives ordered by Brunel to his own specifications proved unsatisfactory, apart from the North Star locomotive, and 20-year-old Daniel Gooch (later Sir) was appointed as Superintendent of Locomotives.
		Brunel and Gooch chose to locate their locomotive works at the village of Swindon, at the point where the gradual ascent from London turned into the steeper descent to the Avon valley at Bath.
		Two notable locomotives were 111 The Great Bear, the first 4-6-2 locomotive in the United Kingdom and 3440 City of Truro the first locomotive to be recorded at a speed of 100 mph (160 km/h) in 1904 (although this speed has never been formally confirmed).

	NOTTINGHAM VICTORIA - RAIL
		A class of locomotives for express passenger work, with a tractive effort of 24395lb and an eventual BR classification of 4P was constructed, based on No.s 98, 100 & 171, eventually numbering 77.
		The locomotive was used to great effect in the Welsh valleys, and helped standardise the variable nature of the fleets of the old railway companies, often worse for wear.
		These locomotives, designated class 5101, were all superheated, and were built from 1929-34 in the 51xx series, and 1935-49 in the 41xx series.

	locomotive cab, Class 25
		The Class 24's were built at Derby, Crewe & Darlington and received major repairs at Derby, Crewe, Darlington, Doncaster, Stratford, Eastleigh, Glasgow & Inverurie, naturally there was bound to be differences in the way the Workshops did things, particularly involving accident repairs and at the time of major overhauls.
		Also changed was the skirt along the bodyside, the 'design styling' of the Class 24's was done away with apart from a modest wrapping round of the sheeting at frame level around the cab.
		The resheeting of the Class 25's generally led to a much tidier appearance for the cab front, particularly as the headboard brackets and the center lamp iron were frequently never replaced.

	[No title]
		The present "North Star," built in 1906, was originally 4-4-2 and was converted in 1909 to 4-6-o, and in 1929 rebuilt as a "Castle." As a "Star" she was typical of a famous class of four-cylinder engines which may be said to have marked an epoch in railway locomotive congtmction.
		The "Stars" and other types closely resembling them were responsible for creating and regularly maintaining such speedy "non-Stop" runs as that from Paddington to Plymouth (226 miles), a world's record for over twenty-two years, and a run which is considerably faster than any other "non-Stop" run of over 220 miles.
		These engines, which were a development of the "Star" class, embodied many new and exciting features, including a larger boiler, and had a weight (with tender) in working order of about 126 tons.

	Builders_1
		When a locomotive was ready for the builder's plates, or a plate in the case of the Class A, the first single or matching pair found would be placed on the locomotive.
		Locomotive porduction increased again during World War II, and the company was recognized for its service to the country in 1942, but soon after the end of the war, demand for steam locomotives dwindled, and H. Porter became primarily a holding company for the many subsidiaries Evans had acquired.
		Locomotives continued to be successfully produced for the world market, although the First World War changed the emphasis of production for the duration of the war to gun shells and mountings, mine sweeping devices, caterpillar tractors and other war items.

	Great Western steam locomotives - 'Castle' class index
		The tender attached to the class as originally built was the standard low-sided tender taking six tons of coal and 3500 gallons of water.
		One member of the class, number 5006 Tregenna Castle achieved a record on June 6, 1932, by hauling the up Cheltenham Flyer, at that time the World's fastest train, from Swindon to Paddington in 56 minutes 47 seconds for the 77.3 miles, against a schedule that was normally 65 minutes.
		The last of the 171 'Castles', which included 15 members of the 'Star class rebuilt as 'Castles' and the rebuild of the only Great Western Pacific The Great Bear, was number 7037 and was named Swindon by HRH Princess Elizabeth (as she then was) on a visit to Swindon works in 1950.

	How Mighty are the "Kings"
		ONE hundred years ago the steam locomotive was the fastest means of transport, and only after the beginning of the last century did the coming of the motor-car and the aeroplane rob the railways of records in speed.
		The locomotive boiler comprises three units : the firebox where the coal is burnt, the barrel containing the bulk of the water, and the smoke-box from which the furnace gases and exhaust steam are ejected through the chimney.
		The "North Star" may be said to be the father of all G.W.R. locomotives, and although the engine bears but little resemblance to any of the "King" class locomotives of today, the influence of its excellent design, with a single pair of driving wheels, was incorporated in G.W.R. practice for many years.

	SwindonWeb - Guide to Swindon - The GWR Works
		Succeeding Joseph Armstrong (1864-1877) and William Dean (1877-1902), Churchward was a brilliant engineer and his 4-6-0 locomotive number 100 - ironically named 'William Dean' after his predecessor - proved a radical design which was to form the basis for the GWR's express passenger locomotives for the next half century.
		The first Castle Class locomotives were built in 1923 (Caerphilly Castle, number 4073) but even these were overshadowed by the colossal King Class, the flagships of the GWR, of which King George V (number 6000), built in 1927, remains the most famous.
		The workhorse Hall Class locomotives followed in 1928 as the GWR in general and Swindon in particular enjoyed an international reputation for engineering excellence for the rest of the pre-Second World War period.

		The locomotive has, over a number of years, gradually been improved to the standard you now see.
		No problems where found but this was not a proper test and the locomotive is sold without a test certificate (some would say it is too good to steam!).
		I think 'North Star' is a wonderful example of model engineering at its best and I can say that in an unbiased way as the locomotive doesnt belong to me. It is being sold by another member of the Milton Keynes Model Engineering Society.

	Where Worlds Collide
		Some of the steam locomotives looks to be recoverable, but many of the diesel and electric locomotives appear to be totally lost.
		Star attendees included The Flying Scotsman, a pair of Stanier pacifics, "Olten Hall" still in Hogwarts livery (which was giving rides), a Woodhead line EM2 and the sole surviving Metrovick Co-Bo, which was displayed suspended from the workshop's overhead crane.
		The presence of three locomotives, two Re6/6s and a smaller Re4/4, is unusual; I would assume the train is booked for an Re10/10 (one Re6/6 and one Re4/4), and the second Re6/6 is a balancing working to save a light engine path.

	Earl of Mount Edgcumbe History - Vintage Trains, Tyseley Locomotive Works
		Production of the “Castle” class locomotives started in 1923, and in March 1936 number 5043 “Earl of Mount Edgcumbe” was out shopped from Swindon works at a cost of £4,848 for the locomotive and £953 for the Collett designed 4000 gallon tender.
		Once at Tyseley, many of its parts were removed for safekeeping and the locomotive was stored, initially as a spare boiler for 7029 “Clun Castle”, the flagship of the Tyseley fleet.
		Specifications required that the locomotive should be in late 1950's condition with Hawksworth tender and BR double chimney.

		On the DSP mason's there were 2 'star stanchions' per loco, one each side of the smokebox, and which was otherwise was unsupported, then the handrail went through the bellstand, and there was a final handrail knob (very small thus not really a 'stanchion') in the lower side of the steam dome.
		The front (star) stanchion moved I think when there were some changes re the headlamp or (add on) somestack top(Nesmith/congdon/pancake all different!).
		In many locomotives, after the elctric lighting era, the electrical wiring was run through the hand rails to the front headlight and down to the electrical connectors to coaches (if the loco ran bunker first) This may or may not be what this conduit is for in your photos, certainly not uncommon on steamers.

		One of his first tasks was to design a new express passenger 4-6-0, keeping within an axle load of 20 tons over the same 14ft 9in driving wheelbase as the Stars.
		Working on the 20 ton limit he produced the Castle class four-cylinder 4-6-0 express locomotive, of which 171 were built or converted between 1923-50, being an enlargement of the Star class with some constructional modifications.
		This produced the King class express locos of 1927-30, and were the heaviest and most powerful 4-6-0's in Britain, made possible by a relaxation in permissable axle loading.
