I think you are viewing the examination in exactly tthe right way.
I am not sure that updating that textbook is the answer; technology is evolving faster than it was and the variety of railways which IRSE memeners need to cope with is far wider than ever. But yes, I do think that something better to help people studying for the Exam is required. The Study Packs could and should be updated.
Actually I have submitted an abstract of a possible paper to the "Aspect 2012"committee for cosideration. Let's see if they want me to present at the Conference.......

Anyway do you think the IRSE shall take some efforts to update its textbook as to cope with the fast changing world? But I guess this will take a long time and much contribution from many professionals in the industry to complete the task.
