Cover: In this issue of Steam Days, our 'Lineside Cameraman' is Michael Mensing, who, in the 1950s and 1960s, travelled all over the country by rail, sometimes taking his bicycle along, capturing the steam scene on film. In the summer.of 1962, he took a trip to the Newcastle on Tyne area where the station regularly offered the sight of 'J72' 0-6-OT No 68736, resplendent in its LNER Apple Green livery. This local attraction is seen shunting vans at Newcastle Central station.
