Contents Listing - Articles & Features in this issue
working with an LMR 'signalbox lad' - Like almost every schoolboy. Rod Fowkes wanted to be an engine driver, but he failed his sight test. However, he was soon working in Midland signalboxes, which are now full of memories for him.
LNER 'A1' finale in the north east - Or all the express locomotive classes that were dispatched with indecent haste to the scrapyard, the 49 Reppercorn 'A1' 4-6-2s, which averaged only around 15 years in service, were perhaps the most shabbily treated. Neville Stead looks at some of the final runs of the class, which was arguably overshadowed by the withdrawal of the other LNER Pacifics
'black saturday' on the SR - Known on the railway as 'Black Saturday', )uly 28 1956 was one of the busiest days of the year, at a time when rail holiday traffic was at its post-war peak. David Maidment offers a fascinating insight as he describes the results of an exercise to log trains on the Weybridge-Basingstoke section of the South Western division that day. Earlier disruption meant most trains were late, causing the day to live up to its reputation! GWR 2-8-0 '47xx' on passenger trains Normally nocturnal and confined to freight trains, the nine Churchward-designed '47xx' GWR 2-8-0s introduced from 1919 were elusive locomotives at the best of times for enthusiasts. However, their 5ft 5in driving wheels - the same as a 'Grange' - made them a true mixed-traffic design and summer Saturdays could find them on passenger trains, as recalled by R.C. Riley.
comment - The beating, but hidden heart of the railway and why it is important to recognise the unseen work of the railway.
call attention - More oddities, suggestions and comments from the steam years.
footplate fraternity at fratton - During his time temporarily stationed at Nine Elms, Fratlon fireman George Blakey gets to grips with the challenges of firing Bulleid 'Pacifics' especially with crumbly, soft Welsh coal
blackout and bombs - The Second World War is in its last stages and VI and V2 rockets are hitting London. Yound LNER footplateman Nobby Gooding is seeing their results, but is also concerned with day-to-day matters such as the problems gradients caused to freight trains, as he concludes his reminiscences.
platform - Debate and discussion on a wide variety of topics - across the entire steam scene.

anytime, any place, anywhere...There's about to be a major change on the LMS as William Stanier arrives from Swindon to take charge of locomotives. As engineman Brian Topping explains, almost immediately he developed a three cylinder version of the 2-6-4 tank to get round weight restrictions on the line from London Fenchurch Street.
from derby shed to schubert...In the second part of his series on his youthful experiences around Derby and Nottingham, former BR manager Norman Roycroft, recalls the naming of a 'fatriot' and the visit of a 'Princess Royal' to Derby.
that reminds me...The destruction of the Euston 'arch' caused strong feelings. However, Andrew Dow argues that a more significant loss was the station's Great Hall.
ten years in control...Control offices ensured that the railway ran to time and sorted out disruption. David Heal concludes his account by recalling some of the characters that worked there and some of the accidents that happened.
good times at peterborough and new england - Now settling into his new job at Peterborough, Stanley Hall acquaints himself with the signalboxes under his control and visits neighbouring marshalling yards.
buy A steam world video' - Steam World's own video archive - using readers' footage - has expanded to a 15th volume.
