Contents Listing - Articles & Features in this issue
The first "Deltic" - In its startling light blue, cream and grey livery, the prototype English Electric "Deltic" was the shape of things to come in 1955. Geoffrey Freeman Alien tells the story.
Flying over land - Peter Kelly takes a ride on France's futuristic TGV, and tells what it's like to travel at 160mph without spilling a drop of coffee.
Your Letters - Plenty to write about this month, including headcode panels on the "Peaks", gating together over diesel and electric preservation, and how rolling stock can be just as interesting as locos.
Sulzer power - Many readers have written in about the Class 47s excellent all-round performances. Alan Whitehouse takes a cab ride in one of the ubiquitous "Duffs"
Only the Ghosts for Company - Howard Johnston and his brother tackle the gruelling walk along the Waverley route which ran between Carlisle and Edinburgh.
Flight of the "Falcon" - George Toms tells the fascinating tale of the Brush prototype which paved the way for mass orders for the quite different Type 4s - our present Class 47s. Colour, too.
Outlines of Power - To accompany our "Deltic" prototype story, Mike Turner starts a brand new colour series of modern traction loco outlines. This month we feature the prototype and D9001 St Paddy.
Can D200 be Saved - Now numbered 40122, the prototype "Whistler" is awaiting its fate at Carlisle. Many people think she ought to be saved, as she was the loco that j really got the diesel revolution moving,
How EMUs Work - Basil Cooper continues his technical articles by describing the control and power equipment of BR's fleet of electric multiple units.
Just Like the Real Thing - Chris Kapolka compares Hornby's "00" gauge model of a Class 47 locomotive with the real thing as our new-style modelling series gets underway.
Gricing Down Under - Part 2 - Bob Avery continues his travels in Australia, where he saw modern motive power on two gauges and steam on five, and shot at least ten rolls of film!
