Traction Magazine May June 23 Zurück Ausgabe

We start this issue with a look around the Doncaster area in the 1980s venturing out into the surrounding countryside in search of new locations for photos of passenger trains.
We begin a major series of articles about a railwayman’s career working on the Western Region and especially at Bristol Bath Road depot.
There is an article about the rundown of CO2 traffic in the 1990s and an accompanying feature of the tank wagons used.
Several hundred British railway enthusiasts crossed the North Sea in June 1986 to take part in the EM2 farewell rail tour in the Netherlands. The former Woodhead Line electrics had found a new home in that country hauling heavy long distance expresses.
We conclude our series of articles about the use of ‘Deltic’ D 9000 by Virgin Cross Country in 1998 and 1999.
A little known interlude in the history of British diesel multiple units is covered in the article about the use of ACV railcars on the Stanmore and St Albans branches in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
The South Western main line between Winchester and Southampton is the focus of this issue’s photo feature.
In TRACTION MODELLING our featured layout, Jeffrey Lane, is based in the West Midlands. There are lots of scenic details, a TMD and plenty of operational action.
