LINESIDE OBSERVATIONS AND SHED LISTS

This purpose of this section of the web site is to provide a place for MIAC members and others to share their observations of locos seen in Worcestershire.

To start off this section, Mick Rock has provided us with many lists of locos seen in Worcestershire during the last years of steam on BR.

Here is an interesting note from Tony Hoskins

GERALD R.WADLEY Notebooks and 'Railway Times'

Gerald Wadley was one of the founder members of the Worcester Locomotive Society and as Secretary he went on many of the early trips organised by the W.L.S. Gerald kept detailed notes of his sightings on these trips and they make fascinating reading in this age when few locomotives linger for long on motive power depots.

However his writing is not easy to read so it will be some time before we can provide more than these couple of shed visits to Worcester.

WORCESTER LOCOMOTIVE SOCIETY

WLS Membership Card

This interesting item of Worcester Locomotive Society memorabilia is a WLS Membership Card which also served as a receipt for annual subscriptions and as a record of trips taken by the member. We are grateful to Tony Hoskins for permission to show these images.

The shed visits made by the Worcester Locomotive Society in the last days of steam operation in the 1960s are legendary. The image below shows the typical receipt from the WLS, in this case for a memorable trip to Crewe on 24th January 1965.
