RMweb Gold C126 Posted April 19 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 19 I thought it might be useful to have a 'library' for RMweb of all those random P.D.F. files people might find of interest. If you have a scan of something you think others might need, please post here with a suitable description in the message, so others can locate it with a quick subject key-word search. Let me start it with a brochure for B.R. (or BR) staff about their new uniforms from April 1968, called "Your new uniform". Hope this is of interest to all. Best wishes.

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted April 19 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 19 Sorry to pour cold water on your great idea but without an index it will rapidly become unusable How will you find articles/info that would interest you in gthe future? I suggest you set it up in the same manner as the Mazak Rot thread with the index regularly updated. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold C126 Posted April 19 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 19 I agree an Index would be useful. I was thinking readers could do a search on the RMweb web-site 'search box', which would detect the key-words. E.g., the photos and P.D.F.s of the 'hot core' PXX wagon come up on a search, but without a thread related to the subject of each file, I thought a 'dump' like this might work. Bother.

Wickham Green too Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Unfortunately the title that's obvious to YOU might not contain the key words someone ELSE thinks obvious ...... truck / wagon, carriage / coach or locomotive / engine frinstance ! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite agree - the Librarian's nightmare. We need someone to compose an 'Authority File'! 😀 Just look at the disparate 'tags' for pictures on Flikr, for example, for the same subjects. O well, I will keep the thread here, and watch the cobwebs grow on it... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium melmerby Posted April 19 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 19 The other problem with searching RM Web is a space here or a hyphen there can make all the difference Even the pdf itself, you've spelled it in uppercase with full stops, it is often lower case and almost always no punctuation. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
