Contents Listing - Articles & Features in this issue
Second in command at 'the cross' - When Stanley Hall took up the plum post of Deputy Station Master at King's Cross in 1961, it was still a bastion of steam. He begins a two-part series giving a top-level insight into life behind the scenes at the famous terminus. The last great grice! - Unknown to John R. Winning at the time, the marathon spotting tour on which he embarked in 1963 was to be his 'last great grice'. With pictures and detailed shed lists, he starts an account of his trek to the West Country and Wales. The isle of wight stuff! - Lancastrian Tom Heavyside made the long journey to the Isle of Wight in 1966 to record the passing of steam on the island. The result was a fascinating portrait of the '02' 0-4-4Ts that were the backbone of loW motive power. The peaks of steam in Derbyshire - There was more to Derbyshire than the famous locomotive works located in the county town. Tony Brown, who studied mechanical and electrical engineering in Derby in the late 1950s, evokes both the urban and rural atmosphere of a county of great contrasts. Comment - Despite the growth of 'customer care' courses, is service on today's railway really any better than it was in the steam era? The Editor investigates. Call attention - Our item about the cheap-and-cheerful 'Starlight Special' holiday trains generated a great response from readers - and there's perhaps the definitive explanation for the 'B17' name-change saga. Railways To nowhere: Kentish backwaters - Kent was a bastion of lines set up by the doyen of light railway operators, Colonel Stephens. Regular Steam World writer Chris Gammell looks at the Colonel's legacy and examines other minor lines in the county. What, where, when? - Another pair of pictorial puzzlers from John Stretton's collection - and, for the first time, a tie-break to decide the winner of the November competition. Darkroom discoveries - The ten-mile climb at a ruling gradient of 1-in-75 up Beattock Bank on the West Coast Main Line between Carlisle and Glasgow presented a formidable challenge to enginemen and locomotives alike. John S. Whiteley presents a fine portfolio of 'Duchesses' and other former LMS thoroughbreds tackling the climb. Echoes of 1959: decline of the 'Clauds' - The 'Claud Hamilton' 4-4-0s were among the best-known engines of that wheel arrangement to work on British Railways. I.M. Ingham charts the swansong of the class on the Eastern Region. Platform - Continuing our reminiscences of tank engines working named expresses, a reader from the renowned Ruskin College at Oxford wonders why a 2-6-4T was at the head of the 'Royal Scot' on the WCML, and there are responses to Andrew Dow's column in the November issue about railway tunnels. Steam's the theme - Perhaps because of their quintessential Englishness, Great Western branch lines in the West Country are one of the best-known aspects of non-main line steam in the country. Regular contributor Neville Stead provides a photographic round-up of five West Country branch termini. All thing considered - Steam World's celebrated columnist Andrew Dow draws on his unrivalled knowledge of the railway to provide some more must-be-read opinion. One, Two, three...Go! - Impeccably polished and in their original brilliant liveries, Caledonian Railway single-wheeler No. 123 and Great North of Scotland 4-4-0 No. 49 Gordon Highlander provided a splash of colour as they worked specials in the final years of steam. John Crawley presents an outstanding collection of colour pictures of the two locomotives in action at Easter 1965. Atmosphere at edgeley - In a picture feature that shows the other side of steam from that depicted in John Crawley's article, Mike Kinder examines how the mist and murk of a working engine shed could heighten the atmosphere of steam photography. NEXT ISSUE - Steam World has some gems lined up for its February issue. Turn to page 67 to discover what's on the timetable. Don't risk disapointment and missing your copy - place a regular order with your newsagent. On the cover: 'H' class tank No. 31522 climbs out ofTonbridge with a Tunbridge West local, in June 1960.

WELCOME to the first Steam World of 2001 - containing a steam Odyssey that will take us round some of the better-known railway landmarks of Britain. After exploring some off-the-beaten track byways in previous issues, we focus this month on more mainstream railway themes. Safety expert Stan Hall begins a new series chronicling his time as No. 2 at King's Cross while I.M. Ingham charts the final months of the celebrated 'Claud' 4-4-0s. There are picture specials on two more much-loved subjects - Beattock Bank and WR branch termini - and even more on the GW as John Winning begins his series describing a marathon 'grice' in the South West and Wales. Tony Brown presents the first part of a highly illustrated article on Derbyshire, while John Crawley provides a picture profile of two famous Scottish pre-Grouping locomotives, and Tom Heavyside remembers the last steam on the Isle of Wight. Admirers of the offbeat, however, still have plenty to occupy them, with Chris Gammell uncovering backwaters in Kent and Mike Kinder providing a 'dull' perspective on engine shed photography. And, of course, there's your FREE Steam World 2001 Calendar, featuring unbeatable photography by Keith Pirt.
