I have released a new version of BRDatabase (www.brdatabase.info). It contains a whole host of extra data and, no doubt, a few new bugs.

The allocation data still has a long way to go and there are errors that exist due to erroneous source information, but you can do snapshots of locomotive classes, fleet surveys, class information, allocation history of nearly 30000 locomotives (steam, diesel and electric) - all this for free!!!

Please let me know any bugs you find but please remember that the data is yet to be completed.

Thanks for reading this!

A great idea that but I've spotted a slight error already regarding D1023 Western Fusilier.... the date for dual braking / dual AWS is out by a month, the old girl was released from Swindon in September '73, not October ;)

Also, was wondering why the livery info doesn't go beyong maroon / SYP.... 1023 was painted blue / FYE by 19th December 1967.

I do like your username!

Thanks - I'll make a list then do all the changes in one hit

After Pathfinder, Sentinel was one of my other top locos (with Nobleman and Venturer)

I just picked Fusilier at random to see what was what really, then went for Sentinel.... for which you've also only mentioned it carrying maroon livery! The livery cycle for the whole class seems straightforward at first, but there were many permutations which have been overlooked by some authors down the years, resulting in a few myths being perpetuated..... it's often quoted that all 74 locos received maroon in one form or another but D1004, D1036 and D1037 never carried it.

If you get stuck give me a shout, I have all of the Westerns (and D800 Warships) covered ;)

http://www.brdatabase.info

Changes made:

1. Expanded 'workings' section - gives snapshots of depots, works and even scrapyards based on open days and visits. Access via:


2. Added 'Day To Day' for Steam/Diesel and Electric - gives details of sightings/workings/events of class - see via Class page e.g. http://www.brdatabase.info/locoqry.php?action=class&id=19&type=D&page=main

3. Plenty more photographs to illustrate various classes

4. I have added a menu link for Multiple Units - this isn't operational but shows my intentions.

5. Corrected the Stats pages for locomotive classes - there were a few bugs and test situations on those!

6. Added a report to summarise the lives of all Western Region diesel-hydraulics: http://www.brdatabase.info/reports.php?rpopt=10

7. For Pre-Grouping classes, can now select by Preg-Grouping company - e.g. Classes->Steam->LNER->Great Central (http://www.brdatabase.info/classes.php?type=S&subtype=LNER&prg=GCR)

8. Numerous bugs and sorting faults corrected.

9. Corrected some problems on the forum: http://www.brdatabase.info/forum/index.php


Please let me know of any more bugs you find, or features you would like to see.

Ian
