Small Shield of the Greater Lithgovian Railway

Greater Lithgovia Railway

Overview

The Greater Lithgovia Railway serves the mythical Empire of Lithgovia, as created by High Lord Sir JatzCrackers.

Be ye warned that:

Laughter and inanity are sometimes good for the soul
Creativity is the fruit of a mind put to work

The Greater Lithgovia Railway, characters, rolling stock and events are all mythical and the product of varia imagination, dementia and too much time on hand. All responsibility for truth, defamation and ownership is specifically disclaimed. Make what you like of it.

Mission Statement

To promote a proud principality
Smug about its place and people
Belligerent to its neighbours near and far
And confident about its destructive destiny

Location

The borders of Greater Lithgovia are not mapped as the territory continues to Expand and Annexures of Land by Force or Evil continually occur. It is generally supposed to lie within, among or between the seven states conprising the Commonwealth of Australia, although Mercenaries, Soldiers of Fortune and other assorted ill-begotten excuses for mankind, bounty hunters and treasure trove seekers are continually confounded with regard to the exact location.

Operating Rules

Operating Rules begin and end with Rule 412. Be you warned that Rule 412 has many paragraphs and sub paragraphs, clauses and conditions. It is not a static rule and varies at the whim of the Lord High Chancellor, Sir Jatzcrackers, the Lord High Secretary, and of course, is reliant upon the Operating Standard of Competency, the Artifice of Gunzelling, a Certificate IV qualification in the Lithgovian Qualifications Framework (LQF).

Signal Diagrams

There are no Signal Diagrams. However, between the Black Stump and Speewah are good locations guides. We suggest you obtain the services of Google Maps, for we cannot define it.

Rolling Stock

The Greater Lithgovia Railway has some exotic, weathered and well-run rolling stock. It is not correct to describe Lithgovia Rolling Stock as decrepit, run down, red-carded, ex-OFF REGISTER or Condemned rolling stock. Our rolling stock is maintained to the highest standards known unto St Gunzel (who, it shall be known, had never seen any of Lithgovia's trains) and that standard is maintained by loyal and devout peasants who slave in the service of Lithgovia. They are frequently lured into service by promises of unlimited refreshment, the refreshment being Lithgovia Bitter.

In the unique parlance of Lithgovia, (the object of study by many philologists) the following applies:

Locomotives and Engines are called Local Motions
Passenger and freight cars are called Vee-hickles

There are doubtless other quaint euphemisms that you will find in these pages, which, doubtless, will make their way into the Lithgovian Dictionary, if it is ever printed. However, we do not hold very much hope of seeing that in print.

Various types of Locomotion and Rolling Stock are given here. The provenance, history and download are all available.

Sir Orange of the Bling is known for rolling around:

Special Occasions

Special Occasions, sometimes called Holly Dayz or Hollie Days, are cellarbarated in Lithgovia, with the fullsome patronage of Lithgovia Brewery. Festivities are often observed with Full Liturgical Solemnity in St Gunzels Cathedral. From time to time, special rolling stock is also prepared to further the festivity, gala and cellarbarations. To wit, Yule Tyde, Nieu Yearz, Oister and St Gunzels Day. From time to time, other occasions sacred to Lithgovians are also observed, for the tymes, the tymes, the guid, guid tymes are worthy of cellarbarations.

Unskilled Rail Services

Unskilled Rail Services are an Infrastructure Contractor with contract and rights to traverse the rails of Lithgovia. Chief Executive Officer is also known to one and all Lithgovians as the Sir General Pandrol Clip Belter.
