It was fabulous to talk to the iMechE about our new locomotive and some of the benefits of joining RCAS. Check it out here:

We spoke to Charlotte Currie, part of the engineering team from @sheffielduni, at this year's @RailwayCIMechE!

This year, @RailChallAtShef improved on their locomotive, simplifying their electronic systems by only using one chassis across both bogies.

@newcastle_loco @RailwayCIMechE @UniofNewcastle @voltsportltd Well done all - hopefully we'll be seeing you are future competitions!

[RCAS @RailChallAtShef]

@EricLesley2 @NoelDolphin Thanks a lot Eric - all that work was definitely worth it!

[RCAS @RailChallAtShef]

@RealJohnWynne @NoelDolphin @RailwayCIMechE Thank you John!

[RCAS @RailChallAtShef]

@NoelDolphin @RailwayCIMechE Thank you Noel. It was a fantastic weekend and a positive step forward for RCAS. Always grateful for your and @FurrerFreyGB's support and advice. Hopefully we'll be seeing you in Sheffield next year!

Sadly I couldn't make the @RailwayCIMechE as I was broken from Rail Live. However, I was stoked the @RailChallAtShef team did so well. Up against teams with x10 the budget & companies with paid staff. The students held their own, with great times in maintenance & refueling.

@NoelDolphin @RailwayCIMechE @RailChallAtShef The new loco seemed to run very well indeed. An impressive performance. And the technical poster was excellent.

Yesterday evening I went to see Sheffield Uni's IMechE Railway Challenge team. Starting to come together, big day 25th June at @Staplefordtrain. @RailChallAtShef team professional as ever. The @RailwayCImeche challenge is always hotly contested, so great to see so much progress

[Noel Dolphin @NoelDolphin]

Reviewing the @RailChallAtShef design report for this year's IMechE Railway Challenge. As usual really impressed with the professionalism of the Sheffield Uni team - hoping they do well in this year's @RailwayCImeche
