Steam nostalgia and railway history at its best, Steam Days is the monthly magazine dedicated to all steam railway enthusiasts. With Rex Kennedy as editor, he has 80 years of railway memories to recollect, alongside the stories and tales retold by many of the contributors.
Steam Days covers the six regions of British railways in each edition; Western, Southern, London, Midland, Eastern, and Scottish, with the occasional article on Irish railways and the industrial scene.
Packed with fully illustrated articles, Steam Days covers the history of the railways of Great Britain from the early days of the 1800s through to the end of steam on British Railways in August 1968.
The new June edition of Steam Days includes…
Stephenson Locomotive Society (Midlands Area) specials to Swindon:
1955-58 – with the ‘Stars’ and beyond
Inventive route changes and hand-picked motive power were at the heart of the annual SLS railtour to Swindon Works. Richard Garland talks us through these trains across their second four-year period.
British Railways: 1948 – spring into summer
Andrew Kennedy offers an overview of changes on the newly nationalised railway as the first BR timetables are published and there is a splash of colour.
Keadby and Frodingham engine sheds and outstations
Roger Griffiths and John Hooper tell the story of the main engine shed for MS&LR/GCR operations at Scunthorpe, and its outstations, as well as the creation of the replacement engine shed at Frodingham.
And there’s lots more inside! If you’d like to read the June issue of Steam Days, it is available to order here; alternatively, reap the benefits with a subscription and have it delivered straight to your door every month.
