Welcome to British Railways Illustrated Vol.3 No. 10. For those readers feeling slighllv queasy after perusing the last issue of BRILL - yes, the illuminated pit picture, page 488, ions upside down. This was on the advice of our agents in Australia. Our best wishes also to II i<• author, Keith Miles, who apparently is still ‘comfortable’ in hospital. At a recent model railway exhibition (Irwell Press produce modelling books as well as a monthly modelling magazine) A Reader Approached. Tapping BRILL and inquiring noli commitedly "Are you responsible for this?” can be, well, intimidating and the forces within one struggle in tongue-tying embrace. The urge to puff out the chest in pride is perfectly counterbalanced by that little imp of doubt. Better to mumble “Er, they’re at lunch” maybe? In this admittedly imperfect fashion comes the great part of the 'feedback' (a fairly ghastly term but more or less effective) which helps to shape this magazine. Brickbats and Bouquets is another, the subscriber's renewal comments a third. Thus much praise comes for coverage of the outlandish and the out of the way spots but The Reader stands above all. A face swirled before me at the EM Gauge Society's do at Bletchley, to intone that babies, as is well known, ought not to be thrown out with the bath water and wasn’t it time a decent feature on some aspect of the capital turned up? Lienee, Camden. Few (in London at least) who ever got a sniff of steam, roaming the Tube with 2/6d Rover, powered by jam sandwiches and an individual fruit pie, did not at least make an attempt upon this crowded, difficult to penetrate, hectic, noisy, steam and smoke-blasted High Temple of a shed. That's enough Glory and Trumpets - this column famously avoids the temptation to drone (an approach, strangely, that others are adopting) and normal, to the point, service will be resumed as soon as possible. BRILL has not been given much to two parters, a hangover maybe from our bimonthly days. So here are no less than two. the highly contrasting Fife Coast Part 1, a gentle journey round a little known part of our railway map, and a dip into long lost days with Sentinel Railcars Part 1. The former is enchanting though conventional; the latter certainly not conventional by anyone's measure and pretty well unlikely to ever attract the epithet enchanting. War Report is all bombs and blast this issue with the first of a fascinating if sobering series of prints from the collection of John Tatchell. to whom many thanks. Despite chronic short ages ’official’ war photography flourished, though no private individual could obtain film surplus RAF stuff only became available from around 1946. Photography was seen as frivo lous for pleasure purposes and potentially dangerous with respect to national security - many institutions however were bound, almost, to record damage and did so almost compulsively. I lappily, the railways were amongst them. Amongst the usual nuggets is a little personal piece by Allan Baker, later overseer of the Finsbury Park Deltic fleet - a Rough Trip should have put him off, but didn't.
