FRONT COVER: It's been a good month for 'firsts': The AC Locomotive Group's painstaking restoration of Class 86 No. 86101 Sir William A. Stanier paid off handsomely in March when it became the first preserved a.c. electric loco to gain main line certification. Looking smart with a rake of ex-Virgin Mk 2s, the pioneer approaches Brock crossing on March 24 with a Compass railtour from Carlisle to Crewe. INSET: Also back on the main line, after overhaul by the Eastleigh Railway Preservation Society, is SR 4-6-0 No. 850, seen on the Carnforth-Hellifield line during its test run on March 7. Full picture: page 7.
