This paper outlines the basic development background of the Class 58 locomotive and main design features, with areas of design development resulting from the introduction into service in 1983–85 of the first build of thirty-five locomotives and detail changes in design being applied to the second batch of fifteen locomotives authorized in 1984. This locomotive design developed from a joint exercise between British Rail Engineering Limited (BREL) and the then Chief Mechanical and Electrical Engineer (CM and EE), British Railways Board (BRB) in 1977 which resulted in BREL fully participating in the design development to utilize modern manufacturing methods. The Class 58 was designed by BR specifically for freight duties and is based on a strength underframe with bonnet-type structure and equipment in modular assemblies.

The article discusses the features of the transportation of timber by various types of transport currently used in the Russian Federation. The conditions for their application are given, taking into account the availability of the used transport routes, as well as the capabilities of the region. The main design features of these types of transport are described. The most important advantages of using road transport for hauling timber in comparison with land, water, pipeline and air transport are presented.

AUVs have proved their usefulness in recent years and continue to do so. This paper is a review of the current state of the art of AUVs. Present AUV capabilities are reviewed through a discussion of feasible present-day AUV missions. The state of key AUV design features and sensor technologies is also addressed, identifying those areas most critical to continued future progress in AUV development.

In September 1974, sixty diesel-electric freight locomotives, designated Class 56, were ordered by British Railways to meet an anticipated upsurge in coal and freight traffic. This new freight locomotive has been designed and constructed employing latest developments in traction technology with a.c. electrical power generation and electronic control equipment. Considerably less routine maintenance is thus required and carried out at extended periods. The first thirty were purchased from Brush Electrical Machines Limited (BEML) being constructed in Romania and later locomotives at British Rail Engineering Limited (BREL) Doncaster Works. Further orders for seventy-five locomotives have since been placed with BREL, Doncaster. This paper outlines the main design features, methods of construction used at Doncaster Works and regional utilization and service experience since 1977.
