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…
The locomotives of Thornton Junction’s final steam shed
Roger Griffiths and John Hooper track the Thornton Junction allocation from July 1933 until the demise of the LNER built six-road engine shed in 1970.
Happy afternoons on Hemerdon
Living just a short cycle ride away, the teenage Peter Kerslake enjoyed many trips to the heart of the Up climb of the ex-GWR main line away from Plymouth, which was 1-in-41 at its steepest and routinely saw heavy trains banked or piloted.
On the tracks of the Wyvern: Through the Aire valley
Observations of former Midland Railway metals are recalled in North Eastern Region times as Richard A Dangerfield takes in trips between Bradford (Forster Square) and both Skipton and Leeds.
Southern additions to the National Collection
Colin Boocock offers a personal perspective on the growth of part of the nation’s official collection of preserved steam locomotives.
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 April 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.
