FRONT COVER: Waiting in exile for a ticket back home: The loco which was the pride of the Great Western Railway in the LNER loco exchanges 64 years ago - 'Castle' 4-6-0 No. 4079 Pendennis Castle - stands outside its shed at Dampier, Western Australia, in July 1994 during its 70th anniversary celebrations.
