37: Head-Shunt (with Paul Stanford)
Mental health issues can affect anyone in the world and rail workers are no exception.
In this episode, we welcome Paul Stanford, railwayperson of 40 years and founder of HEAD-SHUNT, the mental health charity for the railway family.
Paul tells us not only about the challenges to mental health that come from working on the railway, but also the attitudes in the industry, how the scene is changing, what needs to change, as well as his own issues that led to him creating Head-Shunt.

35: Remaking 'Thunderbolt'
The Titfield Thunderbolt is one of my favourite films and I’m so chuffed to have been able to work on the recent train pack we made at work in conjunction with StudioCanal and the 70th anniversary of the film.
Ever since I first saw it, I’ve always wondered how I would go about remaking the film in the modern era.

34: American Articulation (with David Grimshaw)
Our guest is author David Grimshaw, talking about articulated locomotives, but not the sort that immediately come to mind. These machines were built in America long before Fairlie or Meyer's creations.
Horatio Allen's articulated locomotives were built in the 1830s for the South Carolina Canal and Rail Road Company, at the time the longest railway in the world!
Thanks to David for joining us on the podcast.
