Alycidon Rail's archive contains Informed Sources columns back to 2000. We hope the structure is simple: go to the year and you will find the months listed together with each issue's contents. Simply click on the item you want to read. Once the page has opened, you can also move forward and back within the issue. Or use the alphabetical list to find a particular topic Also in Archive are articles which I think might be of particular interest or value plus Modern Railway's editorials (Railtalks) where I have produced the first draft. Feedback from a trial run in Professional Stuff suggests that copies of power point presentations I have made at conferences and institution meetings can be of interest. In the new section below you will find presentations made to a disability conference in 2006 and one on railway funding made to the Institution of Railway Operators earlier this year' To simplify research, and improve the usefulness of the archive, each page has a pull down menu for the graphics pages in the Analysis Section. This should enable users to see whether there are charts or diagrams which illustrate points referred to in the text. The Modern Railways annual index has been available only on the internet starting with the 2002 Volume. These are available here on the Modern Railways web site. Roger Ford

Archive - Sorry about the gap |
|||||||||||||||||||||
It's been a hectic summer, what with the HLOS and the SoFA to be analysed, and we fell behind with the archive. We how have Informed Sources columns up to date. Columns in archive run two months behind the date of the magazine on the bookstalls. In other words, in November the archive runs up to September. |

Weighty Powerpoint |

As an experiment we added a couple of Roger Ford's Powerpoint presentations to the archive and asked for reader feedback. Several of you found them useful, so we have added a presentation Roger gave to a technical conference on train weights. |
