Another view of that sharp gradient on the Cambrian Coast Line coming into Towyn as a two car diesel multiple unit enters the station en route to Dovey Junction and eventually Shrewsbury. The many Great Western lower quadrant signals controlled the line at that time.
Network Rail in UK is moving fast... its headquarters from London to Milton Keynes. New building called Quadrant:mk is expected to open in autumn 2012 with over 3,000 jobs, according to press releases.

RD7926. Some of the signals on the Great Cockcrow Railway are lower quadrant while others, like these, are upper quadrant. The section signal is off as is the distant; this indicates that the next stop siganl is also clear.
The Great Cockcrow Railway is an impressive and extensive fully signalled 7Ā¼ā gauge line near Chertsey in Surrey. It has two intertwined routes, each giving a ride of around 20 minutes, and six or more trains can be in operation at any one time; there are also some steepish gradients to make the engines work hard.

took this photo in a portrait orientation, but it was rotated when I got the scans back, and I think it works even better like this. The split between wood, brick, and water, the vertical horizon line on the water, and the L shaped fence + shadows

A pair of very tall brick Observation Towers dating from World War Two stand on Grimston Warren. Both of the quadrant towers are built from four brickwork columns, connected approximately half way up with steel tie rods, the columns are also connected at the top with a concrete ring beam.
Usually there is a concrete superstructure on top, used by the observers, in this case the tower probably held a wooden superstructure attached by bolts to the concrete ring beam sitting on top of the columns. Some of the wooden remains and fixings can be seen. Both of the towers show some concrete foundations at the base indicating where a staircase was mounted for access.
Nearby are some cropmarks of a large circle with a large central ''bullseye'' at reference TF 6780 2214, this is believed to represent the remains of a World War Two bomb target.
INFORMATION BOARD -
This tower and its twin, which can be seen in the distance to the north, were constructed by the army and date from the Second World War.
They were used for artillery training by the Royal Observation Corps. Guns fired shells at a target and observers measured the shell trajectories and determined the accuracy of each shot. The two view points were necessary to pi point the exact position each shell fell.
This tower was entirely hidden within a dense conifer plantation from the 1960ās. It was only the felling of trees in 2009 as part of Norfolk Wildlife Trust's heathland restoration project that has once again revealed the tower. For the first time in decades the original sight-line between the two observation towers has been opened up.

There are also the remains of other military features dating from around the time Second World War, including slit trenches, and gun emplacements. Occasionally the remains of shells and other ordnance are found here. Should you find any metal objects which you think may be ordnance please do not handle them but safely mark the location and report your findings to Norfolk Wildlife Trust on 01603 625540.

Going anti-clockwise around the circle from the left: stone 12, a concrete pylon marking the position of stone 11, stone 10, stone 9 (The Barber Stone), stone 8, stone 7, stone 6, stone 5 and stone 4. The trees in the background are at the southern entrance to the henge.
Quadrant and lever installed with spacer which abuts the quadrant under screw pressure thus locating it firmly against the brazeon. The control lever and tension arm control pivot around the spacer.
After a long hiatus involving demotivation and a lack of creativity, this is the beginning of my latest MOC. I bet you'll never guess what will transpire.
For manually opening and closing the steam valves when starting the engine. This is done by the valve gear when the engine is running.

In their comtemporary advertising Quadrant claim to be Britain's oldest motorcycle, the company was founded by W L Lloyd in 1901, the first models to his design were fitted with 211cc Minerva engines. The firm also produced the Quadrant forecar.
From 1903 onwards, Quadrant produced their own engines in a wide range of capabilities and types. The firm was represented in competitions for many years by Tom Silver and in May 1903, he was the only ebtrant to make a non-stop run in the SAC Glasgow-London Trial. This was described in the press report of the day as the most outstanding demonstration of the reliability of the motorcycle that has ever been made.
By 1924 Mark Newarch & Co Ltd owned Quadrant and was producing two models only - a 490cc and 624cc - both side valve singles, the 624cc model having been reduced from a previous 645cc engine.
These motorcycles had an enviable reputation as robust touring bikes but unfortunately manufacturing ceased in 1929.

The bike on which Team Sky cyclist Chris Froome won the 2013 Tour de France came to visit our offices ahead of a Sky Ride event.
I understand this is a Pinarello Dogma 65.1 Think2 which is a carbon fibre made to measure machine costing about Ā£10,000.
The bike weighed nothing and could be picked up wih one finger! The water bottles, when full, are heavier than the bike!
