elcome to the March and April edition of
TRACTION.
David Hayes concludes his feature about the
operation of the tanker trains for the British Oxygen Company
with a look at their final years in the 1990s. To complement
this article David Ratcliffe has provided details of some of the
wagons used on these trains.
Railwayman Robin Morel talks about the variety of Class
47s that turned up at Wembley Yard on freight trains and the
problems that these differences could cause.
Long after British Rail steam finished it was still possible to
see steam locomotives hard at work and Jeff Nicholls visited
Bickershaw Colliery in 1978 to photograph National Coal
Board steam working side by side with Class 47s on MGR
coal trains.
Another type of freight operations attracted Chris Lenton
when he photographed aggregate trains in Norwich during
the 1990s which were hauled by a surprising variety of motive
power.
Heading north, David Lindsell’s photographs of Class 37
hauled trains in the Fort William area will bring back many
memories of their use on freights and the sleeping car trains
even after they had been displaced by ‘Sprinters’ from most
passenger services.
The long summer evenings were often used by enthusiasts
to get out and about watching trains that might otherwise not
be seen during the darker months of the year. Alistair Fyffe
had two favourite locations on the West Coast Main Line
near Warrington and at Wigan and ventured out on several
beautiful evenings.
Colin Boocock returns with another of his contributions
about European railways; this time it is about a chance
discovery in the Netherlands of a remarkable collection of
classic diesel and electric locomotives.
Many enthusiasts ignored the interesting variety of industrial
locomotives that could be seen all over Britain at one time.
David Ratcliffe continues his series of features about them,
this time considering the products of Hudswell Clarke.
Change on the railway is a continual process and in 2021
we can expect to see dramatic improvements on the railways
in the Liverpool area with the introduction of the new Stadler
Class 777 trains. It’s a good time, therefore, to look back over
the years, using photos from Gavin Morrison, of the Merseyrail
Class 503, 507 and 508 in the Wirral area.
In TRACTION MODELLING we feature the superb 4mm
scale Riddings Junction which is set on the Waverley Line
between Carlisle and Edinburgh. There is also a close look at
the new Graham Farish Class 31.
