118 Much Better Engineer Signal Engineer and IRSE member Dennis Howells was awarded an MBE (Member of the British Empire) in the Queen’s Birthday Honours on 15th June this year for “Services to the Railway Industry”. In addition to being a life-long railwayman, Dennis has been a leading figure in the railway preservation scene, being the proud owner of his own GWR steam locomotive – a Hawksworth Pannier Tank No. 9466. Dennis, who now works for Railtrack, is the holder of a Senior Engineer’s Licence and is the fourth current member of the IRSE to be honoured with an MBE. Other recipients are Roy Bell, Dr Alan Cribbens and Charles Hudson. Don Heath and Victor Smith bear the honour of OBE. Starting as an apprentice S&T engineer (probationer) in 1955 with the London Midland Region of British Railways, Dennis joined the CS&TE modernisation depot at Levenshulme in Manchester following his training. Here he worked on the immunisation of Heaton Norris and Stockport Nos. 1 and 2 signalboxes for the electrification to Manchester and on stagework at Manchester Piccadilly. Stagework became a specialism for Dennis in subsequent roles, at Trent during the introduction of the new Power Box in 1968 and then back in London from 1969 as Special Duties Sub-Inspector and later District Inspector at Kentish Town. This was followed by Works Supervisor on the Willesden and Bedford Divisions, a highlight of this period being the time spent working with Jim Hitchen on the Bedpan (Bedford – St Pancras) resignalling stagework. Promotion continued through Works Supervisor and Maintenance Engineer positions on the LMR before he took up the post of S&T Engineer (General) for Network South East South Central in 1992. Upon privatisation Dennis moved into Railtrack, firstly as Testing & Commissioning Manager for Southern Zone, then as Lead D&C Engineer East Anglia. He is now Asset Signal Engineer West Coast Main Line South.
