Contents Listing - Articles & Features in this issue
collaboration and conflict east of colwick - With some top-quality colour photographs, John Clarke follows up his article on 'Steam in D.H. Lawrence Country' last summer with a look at the lines to the east of Colwick in Nottinghamshire.
in the cab: Plymouth-Paddington. - In September 1957, Western Region allowed William Alcock to make a footplate trip on the 4.10pm Plymouth-Paddington express. As he recalls in a detailed account of the eventful journey, the tight 155-minute timing made it a close-run thing.
tussle of the titans - Exactly 75 years after the historic GWR / LNER Locomotive Exchange of 1925, Keith Farr begins a major reassesment of the trials that saw Colett 4-6-0s pitted agains Gresley 'Pacifics'
scottish steam: the sprocket gate - Armed with his cine camera. Derrick Hasted embarked on a whistlestop tour of Scottish sheds from his temporary base in Edinburgh - and nearly got left behind by the LCGB coach party after spotting Gresley 'A4' No. 60031 Cofcten Ptowr at Dundee!
darkroom discovries - The two years immediately after the 1948 Nationalisation come under the microscope in a series of Southern Region black and white views by Henry Meyer.
earning your brownie points - The humble yet ubiquitous Box Brownie was the first camera of many now-accomplished photographers. Steam World presents a selection of images of the railway taken on cheap or unspohisticated cameras
what, where, when? - The results of our February competition and a new pair of puzzlers for April
platform - To meet the demands of a bulging mailbag, we again expand our lively letters section to three pages, including a contribution from an Australian reader who likes to read his Steam World with a bottle of wine, in temperatures of 30C!
recollections of a colliery line - In an article postponed from last year, Mike Kinder takes a nostalgic and affectionate look at one of the many industrial branches that were once a hallmark of the UK railway scene.
reviews - Steam World launches one its occasional forays into the literary world with reviews of some of the latest books with a steam theme.
great shot - A succulent Southern Region double-page spread from the camera of the late Bill Potter
comment - Editor Barry McLoughlin salutes the photographers - serious and not-so-serious - who had the foresight to ensure steam images will live on for posterity.
call attention - Did an LMS interloper eclipse the post-war performances of Gresley 'Pacifies' on the ECML? And there's an unusual painting portraying the eternal 'spotter's dilemma' - girls or trains!?
engineering operations laid bare - Permanent way work generally has to play second fiddle to the more glamourous business of running trains. However, Ron Herbert's job as a controller at Preston gave him a different perspective on engineering works. In a fascinating sequence of black and white pictures, he tells the story of a track relaying operation in north Lancashire.
go east, young man! - Doyen of railway writers R.H.N. Hardy continues his encyclopedic account of the locomotives and men of the Great Eastern section of the LNER, with more on the reliable 'J15' 0-6-0s.
all things considered - Steam World's regular columnist Andrew Dow supplies some more expert comment on an issue close to the heart of steam fans.
next issue - May is traditionally the time when the railway timetable changes for the summer, but Steam World doesn't plan any major alterations to its successful schedules - so see what's in store in the next issue.

On the cover: Gresley's Class D16/3 4-4-0 development of rebuilt 'Claud Hamilton' GER 4-4-0 No. 62589 is on pilot duty near March station, in March 1959.
