Colour Film of Tidmouth Docks c.1962

FROM THE ARCHIVES Colour footage of various locos engaged in shunting at Tidmouth Docks in the early 1960s. Visible on the quayside are USATC S100 'Marcus', Bagnalls 'Liberty' and 'Atlantic' of the Tidmouth Docks Authority. North Western Railway 'Perseus' also makes an appearance, handling a private owner wagon rather roughly. In reality this is a bit of shunting filmed on Bob Edwardes' marvellous M Shed (Bristol) diorama at the Thornbury Model Railway Show last weekend. The locos were being run

'What's in a Name?' Part 2

The trends of my naming conventions are rough but follow a sort of convention. This is meant to reflect changing attitudes and preferences in the management of the NWR, and how they want to present themselves. I've added notes below in italics to explain the thinking behind each era.   Passenger/Mixed traffic locos   Manx/Sudrian authors, poets, notable historical figures - mainly locos that were there when the NWR was formed 1915-1920 e.g. Edward Faragher, Thomas Allen
