Work and Events / Re: Eames Train Brakes - Official Work Thread
« on: December 20, 2025, 09:31:40 AM »
Congrats to the break crew. As usual on the WW&F you started from scratch. Braking systems are always intricate to make and adjust but you have little by little overcome all the technical difficulties. Implementing the Westinghouse system would have been the easy way out but faithfull to the WW&F motto you have chosen the Eames system. It was a challenge but yo have won it and as you have always worked in cooperation with the RFA that breaking system will be agreed without any doubt. At the Musée des Transports de Pithiviers only the power is fitted with a braking system but someday the authorithy in charge of the tourist railway safety will force us to equip the passenger cars with a safety breaking system and then that will be an other kettle of fish.

Congrats Mike and Bill. As a President I'm sure you'll do a great job the same great job I've seen you doing on the ROW and at AC since I joined WW&F although your task won't be a bed of roses.

Two Footers outside of the US / Re: Rillé steam railway society
« on: April 25, 2025, 10:37:59 AM »
AMTP have been having good relationship with that railway for many years. They came three times with their temper and their small ballast hoppers to help us to keep up our track. Since then the track has been entirely done over by the Departement du Loiret that owns it but the company named Colas in charge of the trackworks has made some pretty shoddy work. Plus the Département has given us a temper the same as the one owned by Rillé.

Welldone. It's going to enhance the historical aspect of the campus. I wish French people were as generous as Americans regarding the industrial heritage.
