"Tornado" Steam Loco Talk - Shropshire / Dec '09
Ok, I know it's railway related so of no interest to slightly over 110% of the forum membership, but even so, a work colleague is involved with organising/promoting it, and he has a rather painful electric cattle-prod beside his desk:
The Shropshire sections of the IMechE / IET combined winter programme have arranged for John Rawlinson from the "A1 Steam Locomotive Trust" to deliver a presentation reviewing the project and describing some of the technical challenges faced and overcome. The presentation is to be held on Tuesday 1st December at 7:15pm at Shrewsbury College of Arts & Technology. - Open to all, free admission. |

At the RLS AGM last weekend we were lucky enough to see Tornado at Kidderminster station - they arranged a break in the meeting especially to see it arrive!

Tornado
Well, being lucky enough to live in Bridgnorth , I have had the pleasure of seeing ( and hearing ) Tornado all week .
What an absolutely stupendous bit of kit - almost in the same league as a Burrell !!. And , what with the enlightenment of the RLS at last acknowledging that the are other forms of life on the planet , things are really looking good on the UK s premier heritage railway. MARK .

I was a member of IEE / IET ...until membership shot up from about £30 to about £90! The fact my employer will actually pay the membership fee for me is/was a technicality I was too lazy to get around to arranging! BUT, I should stress that for the purposes of these talks/events (including the A1 Tornado talk) everyone is welcome to attend, membership of IMechE, IET or any other organisation (even NTET!) is not required. . I suppose I too ought to try and get over to it - my flat's only a 7 minute walk from the college! There's usually buffet type nibbles laid on for those prepared to turn up a bit earlier than the start time as well |
