Contents Listing - Articles & Features in this issue
banking trains from exeter - The use of Maunsell's tank engines of classes 'Z' and 'W' as bankers on the incline between St David's and Central stations in Exeter from 1959-63 is recalled by Jeffery Grayer.
the southern railway's devon branches - Think of branch lines in Devon and, for many, the former GWR lines spring immediately to mind. However, the LSWR was the dominant company in the east of this much-loved county as illustrated by photographer John E. Simpson, with captions by John K. Williams.
learning the ropes with LMR station staff - Stationmaster Eli Crabtree ruled his Attenborough domain with a rod of iron, but was admired and respected by his staff. They included a young Norman RoycrofL who had translated his teenage passion for railways into a )ab as a junior clerk, as he recounts in the latest installemnt of his series on his experiences in the Derby and Nottingham areas.
A great welsh 'shed bash' in the 1960s - Armed with a seven-day all-line Wales rover ticket and a fistful of shed permits Patrick Evans sets out on a mission to spot some as much steam as possible.
comment - The railway has always dealt with extremes of winter weather, thanks to the dedication of the staff who worked under difficult conditions for months.
call attention - More oddities, suggestions and comments from the steam years.
great shot! - In a detailed scene, Bulleid 'Light Pacific' No. 34034 Honiton is at Exeter Central, while a 'Merchant Navy works a duplicate portion of the 'Atlantic Coast Express' in this magnificent picture by R.C. Riley.
platform - Debate and discussion on a wide variety of topics - across the entire steam scene.
footplate fraternity at fratton - Concluding his account of life on the footplate, George Blakey recalls the unpleasant conditions that using briquettes created - especially on Bulleid 'Pacifics' - and a run-in with some troubled elephants!
stratford forever! - The formidable railway officer in charge of the Stratford District, trained his staff to be one step ahead and was renowned for asking difficult questions to which he knew the answers would not be forthcoming, as R.N.H. Hardy recalls in the second instalment about his days at Stratford.
anytime, any place, anywhere...With the increased traffic on the London Tilbury and Southend Railway the subject of train control was explored by the LMS. Eventually, as engineman Brian Topping explains, the Hudd system of automatic train control, was chosen and fitted to six new 2-6-4Ts being built for working over the route.
that reminds me...Although at first sight a photograph ot a group of men may not appear very important as Andrew Dow explains, it in fact records a remarkable group of people, all of who were working together for a common cause, close to many enthusiasts' hearts.
boxes full of memories... Signalboxes only hundreds of yards apart, slow running drivers and goods trains slipping to a stand were all hazards for signalmen trying their best to keep the railway running smoothi - as Rod Fowkes relates in his recollections ot steam days at Sheet Stores Junction, near Nottingham
