THE OLD COMPANIES

F'ESTI!.'IC,<; P.AILWAY

The big news from the F .R. comes this time from the Deviati_on9 where the Smalley Excavator~ whic1' it was hoped to acquire Yith 79200 books of Green Shieid Stamps, has in fact been hande4~ver to the r11ilYay on 25th August. The machine is being supplied on loan from Sterling Plant Hire 1td.i through the co~!"t.es~) of Mro Y'ouell, a Director of the Firmo The great value or this machine to the I'ailwayi apart from th·~ oc,vfous saving of considerable n1&nua1 effort9 is that it will indi.cate; t::i the CoEoGoBo the Company9s Cilpabilit;y ti;, complete the Civil Engineering work on the section of the de·wist.ion in the vicinity of the Power Std-ion reception area within a reasonable length of time without b1wing to resort to the use of contract.or.so

On the Deviation real progress is being made with the removal of rock from Tunnel North Gut.ti~,, It. is expected that excavation will be complete as far as it is intended· to go at present hy ear-ly nex-~ year (if it nre finished to formation level on a downhill g1·~dient the bottom would flood) o The over­ burden has been to.ken from TuMel South Cutting9 and it is expected that this will bet biovn during tr;e Autumn, for excavation to be next Summer• s main job9 to be complete early in 1975. Thus as plans go 2t t'.,e moment. the tunnel cannot be bored until mid-19759 following which North Cuttir.g will be finished off a

Permanent track laying on the Deviation is progress:i.jg~ and by e&rly August had Reached almo~t . to tne boundary between Aneur-in and Rhys Davies' farms9 whilst t.he ••temporary/pel'pw.nent• track which ll'!l5 hid on the lower part of the spiru to enable the beams for Rhoslyr.

Any re-usable bullhead rail from the Blaerum = 'I:at1 y Grisiau section (a maximw11 of about a qu.rter of a mile) will be used within the next couple of years for re-railing, and this will undcubt edl y be the last chaired rail put down on the main line0 Some ot the recovered rail may be of siding quality~ but the rest and also most of the remaining stored Penrhyn Qu2rry Railway bullhead rail will be scrapped;

On Tuesday and Friday nights a service train of materials for the deviation_ has been lening Minffordd siding at 6030 p.m. On Friday 2oth July it consisted of Linda hauling··16 ballast ¥.f<fons (Hudson i. wheelers, 2 side tippers and boarded slate wagons)~ 2 wagons of stakes for fenc.ingw bolste.- set. 13?/8/9 wit.h 3 runners carrying rail and bogi.es 71 and ??> also carrying rail with van Noa1 a and bogi.e O? brir.gins up the reara Bogies 71 and '?.> ran with the sided and one end l'emoved, the open ends being :;,pposi.te one another. The two wagons were connected by a special space'!', to give the required length for th~ :oail~ made of channel section. The stanchions in the middle of the sides acted as bolsterso At Dduallt Lintl.a ran round the train and propelled it up the Deviation as fal' as Midge shelfo

ISLE or MAN RAILWAY

The Special Centenary train on July 1st 1973 consisted of eleven coaches and stopped at all st.at ions, including those not normally in use, on its journey from Port Erin to Dougla.s. This was done to· enable local dignatoi;-ies to welcome the Govenor9 Sir Pet.er- Stallardo The train included the refurbished saloons F29-32 ·the two composite saloon F35 and 36 which contruy to the report in NGN 84 have not been refurbished with bus seats. Compartment coaches F47 and 4.f:I were also used being brought frorJ the paint shop after a thorough overhaul 9 repaint and re-upnot st.er-ing, The train wal headed by loco ·13 Kissack and banked by loco 10 G.H. Wood. Decsendants of the two ser-,ants whose names these locos carry·were ti:-avelling on the train. At the dinner that evening Mr. Dennis Shaw9 loco superintendant and Mr. St111Wart9 Company Secretary were presented with gold watches by Mr. Cain9 the Company Chairman as a mark of respect and to celebrate nearly 100 years of service to the Railway. Se11enl Sunday trains have been run this year with considerable success. It is hoped that the experiment will be repeated in 1974.

It is· r_eported that the I.O.M. Government has Tyn,1ald authority to accqui re by compulsory purchase9 all redundant Isle of Man Railway land at a figur~ to be negotiated.

'CHATTEHDEN' the large diesel continues to have work co~pleted upon it with all white metal bearings having been remetaled and machined in the I shop? at Llanfair and these have now beel!I :refitted. to the loco. Late August saw coupling rod collars awaiting firlltl attention before the coupling X'Ods are replaced, thereafter very little mechanical work remains to be done before final painting and return to traffic. "EARL" & "SIR DREFALIMYfl" have been working the service trains and during the Late Summer Bap.lc Holiday 01'KlNARCH1 was giving footplate rides at Llanfair9 after having attention to the rear bogie bearings which had run hot during initial trials at Eastero

The small brick built shed, which will house the two small Lcco+s 1RAVEN n° Huns.let diese19 and Barclay 220? 'OOUGAI.19 is about to be built in red brick ;.lmost opposite the signal box at Llanfair, It is hoped to complete the building before the winter really sets ino !n the shed coach number 196 has had the corrugated iron roof removed and replaced in wooden tonur~d and Brooved boards which had been completed ;y late ~ugust except for the felting of the root~ Thereafter9 half doers are to be fitted to the coach and it will be repainted before return to traffic. 9JOAN° the Kerr Stuart loco has been stripp~d and the boiler and fire box lifted clear of the chassis9 both have been descaled prior to further attention before painting and reassembley, which is expected to take some time since a very hsavy overhaul is being carried out upon this loco prior to entry into service.

Contractors working on the road improvements and lay=by at Sylfaen reported in the last 0News1

had completed the lay-by and road leveling such that cars can r~w park here without causing any dar.f'·~ to other road users. This work has opened out the station area and general view of the line f'rcm the road previously obscured by the hedge.

~RAVEN IP the Hunslet diesel was out of servi.ce on 16/? and unavailable for shunting at Syli"aen which was done "mandraulic" by volunteers and passengers. As the 4.15 p.m. train was being shl.1!1ted the train engine 'SIR DREFAL1'1YN° was derailed leaving the sidingij with no spare loco on hand the passengers returned to Llanfair Careinion by road.

Despite gloomy reports the line continues to strive fer more traffic and passenger traffic i.ncreasec by 111% last yearo Goods t:-affic fell however- by 36~000 metric tons during the same per-icd ,

Dip Ing Eric Heiss says that he feels sure the local government subsidy will be forthcom.i.:ns and as the line's director is most appreciative of the many letters of zupport and kind wishes received from NGRS member-s , The conscruct icn of the motorway up -:;he Ziller Valley has been deferred for some 5 to 6 years and a local b.dustrial firm is interested in buying the m..gnesite works, erec:.ir.g a new factory and using the old si::ling to develop some freig~t tl".tffic to try and offset the loss of some of the revenue lost when the magnesite traffic go es ,

Railcar VT1 has been fitted ~,ith new dr:i.ving bogi es (ex Cologne Trar.iways) whici1 had to be r-egauged in the Jenbach Shops. Loco No.,2. and the sales coach were sent on uisplay in a Dusseldorf (\·lest Germany) store between 14 and 23 September. The "Drii:e-it-Yourselffi train introduced this yt?ar has been much in demand and is worked by 040WT Noo60~ built by Kx-auss in 19169 as \~arks Ne, 71820

The mystery 040WT reported in MGN82 has been overhauled for the Ammerseebahn at Gr&frath rNro Munich) and left Jenbach on November 27th to join Kruass 7056 which was rebuilt at Jenb11.ch in 19710

In connection with the 'mystery loco' R,A. Fox writes:-

"7377 is a Kr:.iuss number of the 1918 period, Several n,go engines at 01\N Donawi cz I have n been unable to identify, some of which had T.U.V, plates on t-hem2 but I don't know the 'i',UoV, No.M-~8 Engines at OAM not proved are 60-3, 100-16~40..l+sAII., 100-8, .S0..60 If the Jenbach loco proves tc be one of these I shall be pleased to have . et.ai.Ls ," - ( via HGN please - Editor)
