Bob Alderman was a member of the technical committee for many years and spent some time as the Guild's Technical Information Officer (TIO). As TIO he wrote a regular short column in the Gazette on topics related mainly to loco construction, and we intend to include these in the wiki in the near future. Bob died in 2020.

Bob has contributed many articles in the Guild Gazette. Some of those are listed here from our archive and may be duplicates of the ones above:
