G'Day All, I have been interested in Railroad Standard pocket watches for going on 10 years. It has recently occurred to me that I have not observed any articles on pocket watches used in British Railways. I GOOGLED British Railway watch useage and could not find any articles. Without speculating, I'm sure there must be a reason for this and would appreciate being schooled. Thanks and stay safe.........Joe..... | ||

I have an English pocket watch. It is 9 jewels. it is marked both on the dial and the movement Thomas Wheeler Preston Railway Watch Manufacturer. I spent 6 years in England. During that time i looked for railroad watches. I was informed that the English railroads did not require certified watches. They had no Inspectors. In all that time this is the only watch I found that refers to Railway. Is it a railroad watch who knows. Harv | |||
