Steam nostalgia and railway history at its best, Steam Days is the monthly magazine dedicated to all steam railway enthusiasts.
Here’s what to expect this month…
In search of Beattie well tanks
Inspired to seek out the trio of veteran 0298 class tank engines based at Wadebridge, Ian Turnbull discovered many more West Country delights during a weekend in August 1960.
Branch line and byway outstations of Thornton Junction engine shed
Away from Fife main line needs, Roger Griffiths and John Hooper consider some of the smaller engine sheds and stabling points of the county and their relationship with Thornton Junction shed.
Pullman predicament at Potters Bar . . . when the starter became the main course
With new Pullman stock changes coming and diesel provision a periodic woe for steam enthusiasts, a summer 1960 evening saw John Carter venture out to the East Coast main line to photograph the old order on both the Tees-Tyne Pullman and the Yorkshire Pullman.
LMS/LMR pull and push services – an introduction
John Macnab and Eric Stuart combine to offer an overview of these duties, including some pre-Grouping origins, their operation extending across countless London, Midland & Scottish Railway routes.
And there’s lots more to delve in to, but you’ll have to find that out for yourself! If you’d like to read the December issue of Steam Days magazine, then you can cut to the chase and order yours here, or better yet save those pennies and subscribe to Steam Days magazine.
