Contents Listing - Articles & Features in this issue
Facing the ACID TEST - Preserved B1 61264 has been declared beyond repair. If a new boiler and firebox can't be made, it will go back to the breaker's yard. This is the acid test. The outcome was never more uncertain.
The lady learns to love engines - Jennifer Higgins refused to be a steam widow - she came over to our side! Now see us as our other halves do.
Main Line Magic - Photo-featuring the events of the moment; Rocket at St. Pancras, Scotsman on the Liverpool & Manchester, the farewell to the GW set, and the glorious return of a Black 5 to the Settle & Carlisle.
The Invasion of Bold - Colliery life was never like this before. David Wilcock has been talking to some of the men most affected by Rocket 1 50 - and found they don't know what's going to hit them
Rocket 150 - Comprehensive three-page preview which tells you all you need to know about the big event -which engines are going, what time it happens, where the other attractions are.
A farm called Stratford - There's something stirring down on the farm - and it's remarkably reminiscent of steam days at Stratford, and the Liverpool Street Jazz service. Geoff Silcock investigates.
Glory of the Garratts - There's nothing quite like them for stirring the blood. They're British too, dammit! Lou Johnson looks at what's left.
Saboteur, spy - or steam photographer? - Photographing the world's remaining steam locomotives can damage your health - as Colin Garratt has found out. Moral: secret police make bad train-spotters.
Preserved line profile - The Yorkshire Dales Railway has just won its Light Railway Order. But as Richard Ellis tells, it's been an uphill battle that took 12 years to win.
News . . . and we're ahead of it again. - A 'Schools' for the Bluebell? . . . date for the return of the Duchess . . . BR's ban on Evening Star remains . . . and no steam on Eastern Region this year.
Mailbag - The place where steam people pour out anger/admiration/vengeance/ humour/one-upmanship, or perhaps just plain commonsense. You write, we print it. Bill Stott draws - and we print that too!
Chicken Coop that changed a railway. - There's more to steam railways than just running a service with steam. Tom Lewis explains how an old hen house underlined the point on the Kent & East Sussex Railway.
Tales from the Footplate - Ronnie Ross became the most hated man in Liverpool. Then he took to the footplate - and became the most hated man in Italy!
The shed that NELPG built - The rigours of building a home for seven engines can be less than straightforward. The North Eastern Locomotive Preservation Group found out the hard way, as Derek Hanson tells.
