I was recently bequeathed a box of materials from an ex-colleague who had, for many years, worked for British Rail. There's an eclectic mix of items including this; a file of five notes originating in the Chief Civil Engineers Department of British Railways Southern Region and regarding the movement of an "electric Bo-Bo locomotive" in connection with the Festival of Britain 1951. The major exhibition of the Festival was, famously, on London's South Bank and various items of railway rolling stock, including a new aluminium bodied London Underground car, were exhibited. This file refers to one of the country's newest and most 'up to date' locomotives in that it was one of the batch of EM1 locomotives being constructed for the new Manchester - Sheffield Woodhead route, the long drawn out electrification of which was on the verge of completion.
The scheme had been planned pre-war by the London & North Eastern Railway as an extensive re-engineering of the then important route across the Pennines but the outbreak of war saw the scheme temporarily suspended. One locomotive was however completed at Doncaster number 6701 (later 6000) and in post-war years was lent to the Dutch Railways. Finally between 1950 and 1953 57 similar locomotives, now known as class EM1 and for freight use, were built at Manchester's Gorton Works and electrically completed by Metropolitan-Vickers at Dunkinfield. You can see in the files that the special train including the locomotive was attended by MV staff.
The locomotive chosen for exhibition was 26020 (in later BR TOPS years 76020) and it was fitted with stainless steel handrails to make it look the part, a feature it uniquely retained amongst the rest of class. 26020 was in fact chosen for preservation when the class was withdrawn went the Woodhead electrification was controversially abandoned by BR in 1981. The seven locomotives of the smaller Class EM2 Co-Co locomotives for passenger train use were sold to NS, the Dutch Railway operator.
The notes show a fascinating side to railway operations; that of the civil engineer as they had to compute that any route chosen was safe, structurally and in terms of gauge, for the locomotive and train to proceed across the Region's lines. As can be seen originally two routes were considered, some rejected and others suggested, until a route was cleared. It does not make clear which route was eventually traversed to the old turntable site adjacent to London Waterloo but it appears the pantographs were removed to facilitate overhead clearances.
The route back at the close of the Exhibition is given more succinctly; a route around South London was chosen through London Bridge, Norbury, Clapham Junction, Battersea and on to the Western Region (for their consideration) near Latchmere Junction for haulage on to the 'owners' the Eastern Region at Ilford Depot. The latter is noteworthy as Iiford was part of the other pre-war LNER electrication scheme at the soon to be 'abandoned' standard of 1500vDC and the Shenfield line had been used to test some of the EM1 locomotives on delivery in 1950/51 prior to the completion of the Woodhead route's electrification in 1952.
One name here stands out to me; that of V A M Robertson. He had been a senior engineer in the Underground Group and London Transport from 1928 until 1938 when he went to the Southern Railway and thence to British Railways.
Hi.
Been working on him for a while now. Everything on the vest is sculpted except the pistol pouches. Not entirely accurate...like the gloves and missing mic. To me it looked better without the mic. Well anyway, enjoy!

Oh, one more thing, which one should I make next? Recon or support or a different faction?

Level-headedness, a steady hand, and an encyclopedic knowledge of the trade are standard skills employed by engineers. For our Switchblade, however, these attributes are mere child’s play: she first showed her mechanical bent in infancy, when to amuse herself during her long naptime hours she would routinely dismantle the mobile that hung above her crib and reassemble it in more interesting formations. As a child, she dismissed the pinafores that were standard attire for young ladies of the age in favor of a far more practical pair of coveralls, in which she was accustomed to trot down to the local mechanic’s shop, where the proprietor reluctantly allowed the girl to watch him at his trade.
By the time she came of age, Switchblade was far from the village of her birth, designing improved navigation systems for submarines during the Great War. With her heavy tool belt rattling at her hips and a socket wrench most often clenched between her teeth, the young Engineer soon garnered a reputation for taciturnity, though her shipmates could attest to her eloquence in defending her opinions, political and otherwise, in the cabin below deck over cups of strong Russian tea.
Though she loved her life beneath the sea, a difference of ethical conviction led our intrepid Engineer to take her talents beyond the roving waves. Within the ranks of the Pastime Athletic Club, Switchblade proves her mettle daily through her inventions, ingenuity, and resourcefulness. Never before has one of our own been so unconditionally deft with ratchet, knife, and compass, nor designed such foolproof mechanisms as to defy the most doggedly curious investigators.

Here the Officers Special - Engineering Inspection train rolls along the Fathew Valley with No.6 providing the traction. This 0-4-0WT was built in 1918 by Andrew Barclay & Co. Ltd. for the Airservice Construction Corps. From 1921 until 1945 it worked at the RAF railway at Calshot Spit, Southampton. So to mark it's 100th anniversary, it was given this new livery reflecting its RAF heritage.

Offered in the US from model year 1997 to 2001, the Catera was a badge-engineered Opel Omega made in Rüsselsheim, Germany.
The advertisements for it featured supermodel Cindy Crawford speaking to an animated duck-like character anmed 'Ziggy', who lasted maybe 2 years.
It wasn't derided as much as GM's earlier, badge-engineered Cadillac Cimarron was, a car that was easily recognized that it had the same body as the economy Chevrolet Cavalier except with Caddy end caps. But the Catera wasn't a great seller, either, finishing its run of 5 years as a single-run model.
The one depicted has apparently survived and looks to be in very good condition.

The Secretariat, Yangon, Myanmar was designed by British engineer Henry Hoyne-Fox. Construction began in 1889 the Victorian-style and the complex covers 16 acres of land in the heart of Yangon. The steel used in the support structure of the buildings was shipped in from Glasgow, Scotland and the original roof tiles were manufactured in France, the bricks and teak for the wood work were locally sourced across Asia.
The main entrance hall of the Secretariat, was once topped by a grand dome. The three-story atrium is now covered with glass and it features a magnificent double-helix spiral staircase, painted a rich green and with finials of Queen Victoria. The Secretariat was closed for many years after the Government moved to Naypyitaw in 2005 and the complex was mostly abandoned and left to decay behind locked gates and imposing fences. In recent years, renovations have been underway and the building was partially open to tourism and as an exhibition centre.
It contained the Yangon Parliament House where Burma’s self-rule first began and its West Wing was the location of the assassination of General Aung San, the father of Modern Myanmar, and 6 cabinet members on 19 July 1947.

Awww....Daisy makes such a cute domestic engineer. 😘
I suppose I should explain. We had a very nice Thanksgiving dinner with Daisy's mother and sister on Thursday. But it was a small turkey breast, and there was very little in the way of leftovers. So when we popped into the grocery store on Friday afternoon to grab a few necessities, I noticed an open cooler loaded with huge Butterball turkeys that had gone unsold....and they were practically giving them away. So I grabbed one of the smaller ones ("Only" 15 lbs...😯) at a mere $7....and had Daisy cook it up for us yesterday. We still had loads of leftover sides, so we basically had a second Thanksgiving dinner. Yum! 😋
OK, after all this, we DEFINITELY need to go on a diet! 😜

Kew’s Palm House is considered to be the most important surviving Victorian iron and glass structure in the world. It was designed by Decimus Burton and engineered by Richard Turner to accommodate the exotic palms being collected and introduced to Europe in early Victorian times. This pioneering project was the first time engineers used wrought iron to span such large widths without supporting columns. This technique was borrowed from the shipbuilding industry and from a distance the glasshouse resembles an upturned hull. The result is a vast, light, lofty space that can easily accommodate the crowns of large palms, while boasting 16,000 panes of glass.
Heating was an important element of the glasshouse’s design, as tropical palms need a warm, moist environment to thrive. Originally, basement boilers sent heat into the glasshouse via water pipes running beneath iron gratings in the floor. A tunnel ran between the Palm House and the Italianate Campanile smoke stack that stands beside Victoria Gate. This 150-metres long (490ft) passage served the dual purpose of carrying away sooty fumes to be released from the chimney and enabling coal to be brought to the boilers by underground railway.Today, the glasshouse is heated using gas, and the tunnel houses the Palm House Keeper’s office. Originally, palms, cycads and climbers were planted in large teak tubs or clay pots that sat atop benches above the iron gratings. However, in 1860, two large central beds were dug and the tallest palms planted in them. Subsequently, most of the glasshouse’s plants were dug into beds to form a miniature indoor tropical rainforest.
Today, the tallest palms that need the most room are located beneath the central dome. These include the peach palm (Bactris gasipaes), babassu (Attalea speciosa), queen palm (Syagrus romanzoffiana) and the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera).
Kew Gardens is a botanical gardens in south-west London and the world's largest collection of living plants. Founded in 1840, from the exotic garden at Kew Park in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, UK, its living collections include more than 30,000 different kinds of plants, while the herbarium, which is one of the largest in the world, has over seven million preserved plant specimens. The library contains more than 750,000 volumes, and the illustrations collection contains more than 175,000 prints and drawings of plants. It is one of London's top tourist attractions. In 2003, the gardens were put on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.
Kew Gardens, together with the botanic gardens at Wakehurst Place in Sussex, are managed by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (brand name Kew), an internationally important botanical research and education institution that employs 750 staff, and is a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
The Kew site, which has been dated as formally starting in 1759, though can be traced back to the exotic garden at Kew Park, formed by Lord Capel John of Tewkesbury, consists of 121 hectares (300 acres) of gardens and botanical glasshouses, four Grade I listed buildings and 36 Grade II listed structures, all set in an internationally significant landscape.
Kew Gardens has its own police force, Kew Constabulary, which has been in operation since 1847.
