Steam World

WHEN THE CAR BECAME ‘KING’

CALL ATTENTION

A TRIP TO PLYM OUTH IN 1950. • Bob Poynter turns the clock back from his BR on-the-job training in the 1960s to a youngster's linesider's trip a decade earlier.

PORTRAIT OF A ‘DUCHESS’ • John Hutchinson of the Norfolk Railway Society and a former secretary of the John Jarrold Printing Museum in Norwich (now closed) tells the story of a drawing of ‘Princess Coronation’ 4-6-2 No. 46251 City of Nottingham.

PLATFORM • send your letters to Steam World, 4 Milnyard Square, Orton South gate, Peterborough PE2 6GX or steamworld@choicemag.co.uk

STEAM WORLD CROSSWORD

STOP! LOOK BOTH WAYS… • Martin Leech recalls the foot crossings of the line in the Chalford area, which provided great vantage points for photography on the climb to Sapperton.

TO NORTHE RN REACHES • Colin Boocock always looked forward to visiting his grandparents in east Lancashire. To a youngster, they seemed to live such a long way away! All photographs were taken by the author between 1947 and 1957.

GREAT SHOT

DO TO THE SEA AT LOOE WN • Having last month featured a railway built as an alternative to a canal, this time Chris Leigh turns the spotlight on a branch that replaced a canal.

COLLISION A T CHARFIELD • Greg Morse describes the infamous Gloucestershire accident of 1928, which proved to be a stepping stone on the way to more foolproof systems of ensuring that signals were correctly observed and obeyed – but which also spawned a mystery that has fascinated succeeding generations.

Pick ‘N’ Mix • The Editor begs a little indulgence as he steps a little outside Steam World's usual 1948-68 timespan to feature a couple of his own photographs of main line steam excursions.

YORKSHIRE'S NAM ED TRAINS – PART1 • Gavin Morrison dips into his massive photo-archive to illustrate just a few of the named expresses which once graced the County of the White Rose around Leeds Captions by Nigel Harris

LAST DAYS OF STE AM TO LYMINGTON • Keith Widdowson went chasing steam on a Southern branch line to the sea.
