Historias de Britishrailways

If you have ever visited Barter Books, you may have crossed paths with David Champion. While many know him as a lovely man and the dedicated Director of our beloved bookshop, he holds a fascinating, deeply fitting connection to the building's railway past. Before overseeing the endless shelves of Alnwick Station, David was a towering figure in the world of railway preservation. According to the official history of the A1 Steam Locomotive Trust, David was a founding member and former Chairman who spearheaded the famous "price of a pint" fundraising campaign. His brilliant vision successfully raised the funds to build Tornado-the first mainline steam locomotive built in the UK since 1960! The details of his incredible journey from building steam engines to directing our historic shop can be found in public records, his biography on The Org, and local history documentaries, including a wonderful guided tour he gave for Peep Magazine on YouTube. This poem, The Engine and the Ink, celebrates the beautiful irony of David's life story. How fitting that a man who dedicated himself to bringing a magnificent steam engine back to life now anchors his days in a Victorian railway station, safeguarding the history and stories within. We hope you enjoy this tribute to a wonderful colleague who has mastered both the engines of the past and the pages of the present.

During the Steam Holocaust in the late 1950s/early 1960s, a group of Engines banded together in retaliation against the cruel Controllers, and the anti-steam Diesels. These Engines formed a group known as... The Knights Of Steam. This is a story about that group, and all the Engines that were part of it.

Hello, so you want to be a trainspotter and enthusiast but you don't know where to start.

In our first book about The Wiltshire and Hampshire Railway, we meet the railway's fleet in the early days.We will meet 4 beginning engines and maybe even more so enjoy the first book (Written & Created by Jake Simbron & Brennen Balsamo)

Join Belle as she is goes on wacky adventures, and meets all sorts of engines on the Southern Isle of Britain, the Island of Sodor, the Josephine Railway, and the Godson Railway. (All OC's are owned by their respective owners. Thomas and Friends is owned by Mattel[Unfortunately])

Instead of being withdrawn from the rails, these engines are kept in regular service, and for tourists who love steam. The fleet includes 4 express engines, 2 heavy goods engines, 3 mixed traffic engines, 5 tank engines, all from the London and North Eastern Railway, London Midland and Scottish Railway, the Great Western Railway, the Southern Railway, and British Railways. (I'm rewriting this because I felt there were too many characters, so I'm gonna narrow it down to engines who are scrapped in real life.)

for train enthusiasts and spotters of the United Kingdom and the rest of the world you will need to know something about British railways and the geography of the UK so perhaps look at a map before reading, it will have the names of real companies.

Thomas and his friends are faced with a new dilemma....one which they might not overcome...too easily at least

Rebecca is a very useful goods locomotive who has had quite a few adventures on The Hampshire and Wiltshire Railway. This book tells these stories... (Written and Created by Jake Simbron and Brennen Balsamo)

On One Late Night In Balsall Heath, Birmingham On October 13th 1948 An LMS Ivatt Class 2 2-6-0 Steam Locomotive Numbered 47458 Was Passing Through King's Peak With A Passenger Train At 8:49 PM The Train Derailed Going 85 MPH When It Came Off The Rails At A Sharp Turn As Years Go By Many Steam Locomotives Seem To Suffer The Same Fate While Traveling Through King's Peak

"Brighton Wheels on Sudrian Rails" was the name of a Thomas the Tank Engine film I wanted to make back in 2022. It was a reimagined take on Thomas' story, and it differed from the original version of the story by Wilbert Awdry for the Railway Series and Britt Allcroft for the Thomas and Friends television show. The screenplay that I have released is not complete as it was never finished, but I am releasing what we have of it before it was scrapped. Please note that this screenplay was targeted towards older Thomas fans and was not meant for children. Thomas the Tank engine is also owned by Mattel, and I do not own anything. This story was made solely for fun and was not meant to generate any kind of revenue.

Lore of the Southern Island Railway

During the late 1950s and 1970s, steam was becoming obsolete as British rails sought out a more modern and cheaper way to run their railway. Enter dieselization. As steam engines are taken out of Service left and right, a few engines try to find salvation on a preservation railway. But it won't be easy, as some who were meant to be scrapped are basically wanted by their old owners, and are being hunted down by diesels during the night. join an engine driver as he tries to save his engine from scrap, before the diesels find them. this series was inspired by Mra thehedgehog's TAOS special series of the years 1963 to 1986. This idea is different from my horror AUs with thomas because this focuses on a bunch of new characters that are trying to escape scrap. This is also a reboot or revival of my older scrapped story "the end of steam". So this story was planned a long while ago, but this time I actually revived an idea instead of remaking it into a different AU.
