    Locomotive, Steam 3801

    Locomotive 3801 has significance as the class leader of a very important class of locomotive on the NSWGR, and the ultimate development of the express passenger steam locomotive.
    The 38 Class had the highest boiler pressure of any locomotive in Australia and the first in NSW to be equipped with roller bearings.
    The design represented an advancement of the one-piece cast-steel frame by incorporating the cylinders, main air reservoir, and even the bracket for mounting the air compressor.
    The class is significant as it illustrates the increase in locomotive power and the improvements in passenger services in the post-World War 2 period.
    Locomotive 3801 is historically significant as the first steam train to cross Australia from east to west, and for its role at the head of the Bicentennial Train, reaching every mainland capital. It has a distinctive and attractive steam-lined form influenced by contemporary overseas designs from the late 1930s in Britain and the USA, as part of a promotional strategy to make train travel seem modern and fast.
    Locomotive 3801 has a high level of social significance.
    In ‘preservation', Locomotive 3801 has particular significance to the NSW rail preservation community and to the population generally, through its use on rail tours since the mid 1960s and, following its overhaul in 1983-86, its subsequent lease to 3801 Limited.
    The 38 Class made extensive use of a number of technical improvements and innovations developed on earlier engines for performance enhancement and reliability. Locomotive 3801 also has the potential to reveal information about the practice of streamlining.
    Technically, and apart from the streamlined nose and cowling, it has all the features of the class including the 25 non-streamlined locomotives.
    It is also representative of a high-technology mid 20th Century express passenger locomotive, in use up to the introduction of diesel-electric power.

    Preserved British Steam Locomotives - 3802

    please log in to view this image


    Built at Swindon in 1938.

    BR motive power depot allocations since 1948.

    Date Arrived Depot
    January 1948 Banbury
    May 1952 Oxley
    October 1962 Tyseley
    May 1963 Severn Tunnel Junction
    April 1964 Taunton
    September 1964 Bristol Barrow Road
    Withdrawn August 1965 and sent to Woodham Brothers at Barry where it stayed until 1984.

    Initially the locomotive was based on the Plym Valley Railway before moving to the Bodmin & Wenford Railway in 1990. In 2002 the locomotive moved to the Llangollen Railway.

    The locomotive has been overhauled at Llangollen following the boiler certificate expiring in 2015. It had been thought that it might be back in service by the end of 2017 but it will be early 2018 when it is back in traffic.

    During early February 2018 the locomotive moved again under its own steam around the Llangollen shed yard. Later in that month it had further trials before having its final section of boiler cladding and smokebox support struts fitted prior to the locomotive being painted.

    3803
    GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY 2884 CLASS 2-8-0 No.3803
    please log in to view this image
    No.3803, a member of the 2884 class, was completed at the Great Western Railway's Swindon factory in January, 1939 at a cost of £4285, including £1147 for the boiler. The GWR was hoping for a large share in a probable Government grant for building new engines for the war effort at the outbreak of the 2nd World War. In the event it was the Stanier 8F that was chosen for the war effort. Similarly the 2800 class locomotives lost out to the GCR O4 class in the 1st World War when the latter class was chosen for that war effort.

    No.3803 wears the GWR unlined green livery. She has spent the 2011 and 2012 seasons on the Battlefield Line at Shackerstone. No.3803 will be paying her first visit to the GCR at a time when, unfortunately, the GCR’s two resident 2-8-0s Nos 48305 and 63601, are not operational. So it will be nice to see a 2-8-0 on the Windcutters again.

    No.3803 arrived at Quorn & Woodhouse on 23rd January, 2013. It entered traffic on the GCR on 25th January, 2013 at the Winter Gala.

    After successful performances at the Winter Gala and other GCR services No.3803 left the GCR on 20th March, 2013.

    The Crash of Flight 3804: A Lost Spy, a Daughter’s Quest, and the Deadly Politics of the Great Game for Oil

    Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

    Charlotte Dennett (Author), Tia Rider (Narrator), Chelsea Green Publishing Company (Publisher)

    please log in to view this image


    In 1947, Daniel Dennett, America’s first master spy in the Middle East, was dispatched to Saudi Arabia to study the route of the proposed Trans-Arabian Pipeline. It would be his last assignment. On the way, a plane carrying him to Ethiopia went down, killing everyone on board. Today, Dennett is recognized by the CIA as a “fallen star” and is an important figure in US intelligence history. Yet the true story behind his death remains clouded in secrecy.

    In The Crash of Flight 3804, investigative journalist Charlotte Dennett digs into her father’s counterintelligence work, which pitted him against America’s wartime allies - the British, the French, and the Russians - in a covert battle for geopolitical and economic influence in the Middle East. Through vivid storytelling, extensive research, and deep analysis of region-defining maps, she reveals how feverish competition among intelligence networks, military, and Big Oil interests have fueled indiscriminate attacks and targeted killings that continue to this day. By introducing the listener to all the major players, the audiobook delivers an irrefutable indictment of these devastating forces and how the brutal violence they incite has shaped the Middle East and birthed an era of endless wars.

    Part personal pilgrimage, part detective story, Dennett’s insightful reportage and deft critique examines what happens to international relations when oil wealth hangs in the balance, shining a light on what so many have actually been dying for.

    Raymond Fung: Most of my plans were cancelled or postponed due to the virus outbreak, which, however, allows me to enjoy the rare moments of rest when the whole world stops running. It is when everyone stops working day and night that they have a moment to escape from the urban life and immerse themselves in the beauty of nature, hence finding a different kind of happiness. I have found peace of mind in creating art, which encourages me to go back to the studio every day to draw and paint, which I find most relaxing.
