Dud Gen Floaters

The phrase "Dud Gen Floaters" was used by haulage bashers for incorrect info relating to locomotive workings that never actually happened, but just keep on coming back to you, over and over, via the grapevine! Predating the internet, but rarely heard today, it should probably be revived as its much more realvant than ever.

I learned a long time back, that if you post anything that turns out to be incorrect, its too late, its out there in the wild and someone will have archived the error and it will come back to you, over and over.

Recently, three examples of workings that never were, posted in good faith on Timewarp around 20 years ago, later disproved and removed, yet here they are, once again, back in the RailGenArchive mailbox.

Fri 10th Sept 1982.
40032 1A41 2123 Bradford - Kings Cross from Leeds.
Never Happened. Was 46050.
How do we know?
Withdrawn from service months previously, already at Swindon avaiting the cutters torch.

Tue 08th Feb 1983.
50028 1V92 1423 York - Plymouth between Gloucester - Plymouth
Never Happened. Date error. Typo in gen recieved
How do we know?
Service not in timetable until May 83. Several reports of this correctly dated 08/02/83 recieved when 50028 worked 1V92 throughout.

Sat 4th Jul 1981 .
40023 1M71 0855 York - Llandudno
Never Happened. Wrong loco. Typo in gen recieved
How do we know?
6 people who saw/caught/photographed the service reported the loco as 40025. Again, loco withdrawn prevous 05/81.

Dud gen floaters indeed!

The RailGenArchive project is ongoing continuation of the old 1980's Timewarp site with updates usually at least once per week, A site dedicated to recording diesel and electric (mostly) passenger workings. During the many years that this project has been running, steam workings have also been received, and, going forward, these will be posted here on this blog as time allows.

Many thanks for all your help and support so far.

Still here

Still here...

The lack of posts to this blog is just a matter of the workload generated during the covid pandemic for the main project, the RailGenArchive . Despite our best efforts a backlog of mostly large and time comnsuming files quickly built up and the blog missed out. We`ve been adding as much new content each week as we can with a vast amound of new and amended info now added to RGA./br>
Things have eased off a little of late, but we are getting 70-80 mails a week, much of this goes straight on, while lists of amendments and we are slowly working on the backlog as well.

So, if you've sent us a file which as yet to appear, we do appreciate them and we are working through them and the backlog is currently reducing albeit rarther slower than anyone would like!

BR Steam workings - 1960

The RailGenArchive project is ongoing continuation of the old 1980's Timewarp site with updates usually at least once per week. Just like the old site, this project is dedicated to recording diesel and electric (mostly) passenger workings in a fully searchable database. During the many years that this project has been running (since 1997/1999), steam workings have also been received, and, with the database not designed to accept steam locos, going forward, these will be posted here on this blog as time allows.

Confusing codes: Can you help?

The RailGenArchive project is ongoing continuation of the old 1980's Timewarp site with updates usually at least once per week. This is A site dedicated to recording diesel and electric (mostly) passenger workings as accurately as possible. The site database contains 390265 records at the time of this post with all loco classes featured. The site currently covers the years 1970- 1995 but workings from other years are added when supplied

The position re headcodes used for passenger services over the Crewe - Cardiff route during the latter part of the 1970's is confusing to say the least!

Back when these trains were DMU's, I believe the 2V67 code was used for all Cardiff bound trains & 2M67 for Crewe bound.  Only the hauled mail & summer dated workings had 'proper' codes.  The summer of 1976 saw increasing use of locos & hauled stock vice DMU's.  22/11/76 (RO01/77) appears to be the date that these turns officially became loco-hauled.  Then, at some point after that, probably with a full timetable change, these turns gained individual codes, but I don't know when this happened for sure, and don't want to just guess. Looking at other websites (as usual) doesn't help either.

With reports We've had, the gen on the codes as been confusing, so is usually shown as given.  What we need is to find someone with appropriate WTT's that is willing to look them up & let us know which codes applied to which trains from what dates so that I can then amend and improve the site accordingly.

If you can help with any of the required info, please use the contact form below, or used the email or contact form on the main site.

Many thanks for all your help and support so far.

BR Steam workings December 1957

The RailGenArchive project is ongoing continuation of the old 1980's Timewarp site with updates usually at least once per week, A site dedicated to recording diesel and electric (mostly) passenger workings. During the many years that this project has been running, steam workings have also been received, and, going forward, these will be posted here on this blog as time allows.
