Revision as of 11:29, 1 October 2021
I have just registered, as I have some historical material on train workings during WW2, and am not sure how best to submit this. Is this wiki the right vehicle for mentioning this?
My father John ("Jack") Button worked for the GWRGreat Western Railway as a clerk at various SVRSevern Valley Railway stations from the 1930's until 1941, and was a very keen railway enthusiast & observer. He noted all the steam locos he saw, including information on the working (if known), the location (station/platform/running-line etc), no of carriages & so on. I have his log-book covering June 1940-September 1941. Basic information is clear, but there are various symbols to indicate whether tender/bunker-first etc, so much remains to be deciphered. Is this material likely to be of interest? The LNERLondon & North Eastern Railway J25 locos are noted quite frequently, and obviously wartime observations are relatively scarce. How best to submit this - as scans of his logbook pages? Thank you.
- Hello Ian, and welcome. There's reference to the J25s and other locos on Locomotives used on the Severn Valley Branch in commercial service. There's also some information on the period at The Severn Valley Railway under GWR/BR ownership. All material is of interest, and this is an open edit Wiki so you can add material yourself, either as a new page and/or with a summary of the data on existing pages. You can upload scans of the pages too. A reminiscence on Tales from the Severn Valley might be good. If you've any questions, do ask.

- It's also prompted me to ponder whether pages for the SVRSevern Valley Railway in each of the two World Wars might be an idea?--Patrick Hearn (talk) 11:17, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
