Text Box: We have written many times in these pages and elsewhere about the importance of all engineering and support staff in this industry having a similar broad appreciation of the operations and engineering on and about the railway. Since privatisation Essempy and its forebears have been designing and delivering training which has these very objectives, including the 100 Basic Principles and Rail Induction courses.  For the past two years we have provided a version of our Rail Induction course for rail apprentices at the Network Rail Training faculty within HMS Sultan at Gosport, using our portable training model railway. As a training aid it has been modified and rebuilt many times and the current version features a large cross section of the equipment in daily use on the network and allows a number of demonstrations and exercises to be conducted.  Late in 2008 Network Rail managers at Gosport decided to embark on a permanent model with similar features and, following some research of their own, approached Essempy to design and build it. The model is housed in a dedicated room and incorporates more features than our portable version can, including two and four track railway, bridges, level crossings and various types of signalling.   Construction took place in Essempy premises during late February and was transported to Gosport for final assembly and commissioned on 18th March. It will be available for both resident and visiting tutors to the training school.       Text Box: Essempy build railway for Network Rail
