Remembering David Piddington
More mystery engines
Trains running again
Nothing better than seeing
the fruits of your labours
W
elcome to the July edition of
EIM
and I write these words
directly after the Spring bank holiday weekend which
provided your editor with a somewhat surreal experience
– I went to a Thomas the Tank Engine weekend...
Before everyone throws down their copy in disgust I should
explain there was a very good reason for this – myself and Mrs C had
only the third opportunity to spend a day with our grandson in the
15 months he has been in this world. As young Charlie Charman is
already seriously into the little blue 0-6-0T and his ever-expanding
set of fellow engines, it was decided we should join what appeared to be many thousands of
others at one of nine solid days of Thomas events at the Mid Hants Railway.
A good day was had by all, Charlie particularly enjoying himself while I at least found a
miniature railway to check out (see the
Club News
pages). We may despair at the money-
making machine Thomas has become, but it does get children interested in steam trains at a
very young age, which is a good start...
Anyway on the Saturday before heading south I headed the other way to the Welsh coast.
The Fairbourne Railway was holding one of the first Galas in a hopefully post-pandemic UK
and checking out the Gala was a must, seeing as the 12
¼
-inch gauge line regularly features
in
EIM,
being tech-ed Harry’s day job, while I’ve been doing some workshop stuff there too.
The best bit of an enjoyable morning? Seeing the fruits of my labours. Newly overhauled
Darjeeling 0-4-0ST ‘Sherpa’ was heading trains on axlebox keeps I had modified and spring
bolts I had made. One of the visitors was only running as I had turned up plugs for a couple
of leaking tubes (phosphor bronze, lovely stuff to machine, gets everywhere!). They ran over
points that had been improved with bushes I’d turned up in the workshop – the list goes on...
The moral of this tale? Several readers out there might be missing their workshops,
perhaps having had to downsize, or to give up their lathes and the like. But plenty of heritage
railways are crying out for the machine tools you have, one likely close to you. You can enjoy
exercising your skills, while keeping the trains running, which is a good feeling to have...
