More things culled from RAILDATE up to 03/09/99, plus anything else that's come my way.
The cavalcade runs on three consecutvive days next August, 26th, 27th & 28th 2000 between Shildon & Darlington, County Durham, England. Forty locos will take part with some still to be announced. Full details are at:
It's been confirmed that the second oldest working steam engine in Britain, Bellerophon from the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway, will take part in the Millennium Cavalcade of Steam.
Fancy a locomotive nameplate, but can't afford the real thing? John Cowlishaw makes wooden replicas - or so I'm told. His phone number is 0115 917 5058.
Included are companies around the world who repair locomotives or sell parts, tools, or supplies for steam locomotive maintenance. The list appears at the Ultimate Steam Page:

If anyone knows of any other companies actively involved in steam work, I'd love to hear about them.

From former HPMRS member Nick Robson...
I have just returned from a wet and windy week in Cornwall and although I was unable to get near any of the steam lines, I saw something of the remaining commercial lines.
Obviously, there is the mainline down to Penzance with the mainline service run by Virgin Rail (virgo intacta, as it were), but the same rails also carry local passenger traffic run by Alpha. We were staying in Fowey, and the mainline comes down to Lostwithiel a few miles north of us, then southwest down to Par (change for Newquay), St Austell, then on west. Just before St Austell is St Blazey, where there seems to be a lot of Post Office traffic (I didn't realize TPOs still existed).
There is little left in the way of mineral lines in the St Austell china clay area; most of the open-cast pits are still working and the china clay is either processed on the spot and lorried out, or piped to the coast and processed there. However, there is still a mineral line in regular use that branches off near Lostwithiel and runs south literally on the edge of the Fowey river down to a terminal just outside the town of Fowey.
There also used to be a mineral line that ran east out of Par down to Fowey, but for some time now it has been converted into a roadway, used only for mineral lorries to transport stuff between Fowey and Par docks.
It was difficult to tell sometimes who owned the passenger branch lines; for example, the branch line to Newquay is signed with a "tourist attraction" type brown board, as is the branch line down to Looe.
On the other hand, there is no signposting at all for the mainline station in Lostwithiel. Most odd.
While we were in Cornwall, we visited one of the china clay pits near St Austell, Wheal Martyn, which is open to the public and has all sorts of displays, pieces of equipment, history trails and so forth.
Amongst all this they had a working example of an overshot water-wheel which is used to drive a pump which lifts water up into the top of a system of troughs within which the china clay is washed. Now, as you may know, china clay is mined on the open-cast method, and this means it is not always possible to have your power source (the water wheel) near the point of collection of the china clay slurry in the bottom of the pit. So what the old boys did was connect the water wheel via a system of rods anything up to half a mile long riding on pulleys to the pump in the bottom of the clay pit. These rods would travel up hill and down dale, but not round corners,
The example that Wheal Martyn had set up was only about 50 yards long between wheel and pump, but impressive nonetheless. It has always amazed me how seemingly little water is able to turn a big wheel and then make it do significant amounts of work. Just think of the sheer inertia of half a mile of cast iron rods, for instance, let alone the load applied by the pump.

The Public Record Office catalogue is now available online:
On Sunday, I paid my first visit to Romsey signal box, and I really don't know how I've managed to go this long without visiting it before. It's one of those visits I've been promising to make for some time, but somehow, I never got round to it. The box has been moved from the lineside to a piece of land at the rear of the local infants school. Now fully-restored, it forms the centre-piece of an exhibit that include some pointwork and signals, and with the help of a "simulator" down in the locking room (which represents the rest of the railway system) a convincing representation of signal-box working has been created... and yes... you do get to have a go yourself!
A discussion with the operators revealed that there might be some benefit in the Friends of Romsey Signal Box and the HPMRS forming some kind of link - it's only a few miles away after all. The first thought is that we could invite them to our guest speaker evenings. Frankly, these have not happened for a while, largely because it gets a bit embarrassing when there is only a small turn-out, and I've been reluctant to take the risk. However, if we could count on a few visitors coming from other societies (not necessarily just Romsey Signal Box members) organising these evenings would be a lot more worthwhile.
The reciprocal to this is an invitation from them for us to become involved (as individuals) in the operation of the box. Apart from odd special events, they open the box to the public on the first Sunday of each month (except January) - a total of eleven times in the year. Needless to say, they're always interested to find new volunteers to learn and operate the box, and to help with routine maintenance (there's a lot of oiling to do on the site!) I'm thinking very seriously of paying my £5, being passed-out as a Romsey signalman, and going along two or three times a year to help out. Would anyone else like to join me?
The Rowsley Association is the corporate name for the ex-Railwaymen and their families who continue to keep in touch with one another through an annual reunion and a quarterly Newsletter.
A new website has now gone live with details of the Association. Of interest will be an exhibition in Rowsley village hall on Saturday and Sunday 5th & 6th June to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the arrival of the railway at Rowsley in the Derbyshire Dales.
The website includes extracts from the Association's newsletters and will be expanded to cover many aspects of Rowsley's heritage.

Firebox Recordings has announced the release of its second stereo all-steam compact disc - "Symphony in Steam". The new 55-minute disc, featuring 5367 on the cover, contains 15 never-before-released tracks and retails for $AUD29.95 inc. postage and handling.
"Most of the engines on this CD are never likely to run again, so these recordings are really collectors items." said Darren Yates, Chief Recording Engineer at Firebox Recordings. "We've pulled together a collection of recordings that aim to show steam at its best."
Tracks include 3214 climbing Hawkmount at night, 5461 storming around Lithgow Zig Zag's bottom road and 3203+3214 through Demondrille. Copies are available now (payment via cheque or postal order) from Firebox Recordings, PO Box 6, Winmalee, NSW, 2777, Australia.

Railway enthusiasts may be interested in the 'trains' page. It details technical information about the various engines used on the railway, from the early irish-built steam locomotives to the drumm battery trains. Former passengers and employees were interviewed and provide previously unrecorded, first hand accounts of the railway. Other aspects of the railway covered are its construction, opening, trains, accidents, stations, engineer (William Dargan) and closure.

Zimbabwean DE2 (EE export version of Class 40) No. 1207 has been bought for preservation. I was speaking to a gent who looked it over recently, and it needs some work doing, e.g. cab fitting/guages vandalised, engine room windows smashed, etc.
Also it has an ex-Class 40 power unit in it. Several were exported, although I don't know how many. Cynics amongst us might still believe it had an impact on the withdrawal policy at the time, knowing they'd get a good price for exporting a unit rather than running it into the ground on a UK loco.
Actual unit fitted in 1207 has an IH serial no. which seems to be in the right number range for one of these units. We are just waiting on a friend to research the number for us to track which 40 it may have come from.
I've recently been lucky enough to view some amateur video footage of a DE2 on freight. Forget soundalike, they basically were a Class 40. The power de-rating to 17xx hp was probably only due to local climate; a similar de-rating was applied to the CP1800's for Portugal with basically the same unit as a Class 50.
