I MUST GO DOWN TO THE SEA AGAIN...By Reg Randell - Tales from the chain gang (that's a surveying chain) as Reg dares the descent of the White cliffs. AN AMATEUR SIGNALMAN ON THE GN MAIN LINE - Part Four - Peter Coster - Fourth and last in this fascinating and revealing series, beginning with a place by the peculiarly sinister name of Cemetery. The Great Northern Cemetery was close by but was not visible from the line; much more prominent was the vast and sprawling Standard Telephones and Cables Company, known universally locally as 'The Standard'. It was remarkable for its gorgeous Art Deco frontage, born in the days when a firm blazoned its expertise and endeavour with a bold front office block on the road; all the factory space was tucked away behind. We have all seen countless examples of this across the country; redolent of the 1920s and 1930s they went out of fashion in the barren 1960s - the Tesco store on the Western Avenue in London shows their unsuspected glories. 'STC' was highly unusual in that its grand frontage faced the railway, not a road. COMPOUNDED ERROR - Just where did 1004 come to grief? NEW STREET: EVERYDAY DELIGHTS PANNIER TANKS - ITS OFFICIAL SOME SUPER D(ETAILS) AND SUPER D TALES - PART ONE - PAGE 202 Ray Fox and Mike Kinder - Memories of steam come to different people in different ways. Take one of the compilers of the above (he never caught the fish) recalling the Super D 0-8-0s: 'In those blessed days the last of the old world still lingered j on, a landscape of ancient collieries and brickworks, their derelict stumps rising between long-flooded claypits. It was down the steep, flower-embroidered banks of one of these that a young angler, in pursuit of the monster carp of local folk-lore, was making his way early one glorious [ June morning, a warming sun already well clear of the horizon but the dark waters below still veiled in a thick mist, rapidly upcoiling and | dissipating into the blue skies above. And, even as he reached the water's edge, from the far distance came the dimly discerned but unmistakable beat of a Super D, steady and unfaltering, ever increasing in volume. Battling its way up the bank on a southbound coal train, it burst eventually, shrouded in steam and smoke, from behind a shoulder of colliery waste onto a high, sun-drenched embankment that ran just beyond one side of the claypit. A canvas fit for a Turner or a Monet. A brief glimpse of paradise.' Now one's man's paradise is another man's flooded clay pit but we all know what he means. Paradise is hardly a good enough word! FOURUM - APPLEDORE on the Arrow NOCTURNE DIESEL DAWN - New Traction, Old Sheds THIRTIES FILE RILEYS RAILWAY ROUNDABOUT - GLASGOW ST ENOCH, 27 MAY 1959 ON TRACK - Sunday Mornings on the GC WAR REPORT - On The Home Front - 14 October 1944 SUBLIME TO RIDICULOUS - This little regular feature pointed out (in BRILL 11.3 - December 2001) that the range of railway interest went far farther even than the vast variety encompassed between 'A for Atlantics' and 'Z for Z4'. There was, too. The Weird and the Wonderful but there was something even beyond that. These are the dark corners into which the light of our sister journal RAILWAY BYLINES doth shine... THE CIVIL ENGINEER'S COLLECTION A READER WRITES SPOT THE SHED Cover photograph. Bushey troughs in April 1963, the trees still withered by the terrible winter that was then only just ending. 46254 CITY OF STOKE-ON-TRENT hurries along on the up fast, taking water for the last time before Camden shed.
