Welcome
We start this issue with a detailed look at Irish Rail in the
1990s when the railways of the Republic of Ireland were a
Mecca for railway enthusiasts wanting to experience the
locomotive haulage of almost all trains outside the Dublin
suburban area. David Clough and Steve Turner take us back
to those years when orange and black diesels ruled the
rails.
David Hayes concludes his study of the UKF fertiliser
trains whilst David Ratcliffe provides details of the distinctive
wagons used on these trains. Dave Allen remembers how
difficult it was to find information about railway operations
in the 1980s; fortunately he recorded on film some of the
workings of Class 25s in the Aylesbury area.
Jason Hickling, a driver from Saltley depot, describes his
experiences of driving freight trains from the Birmingham area
to Crewe and how he used his break there to photograph
locomotives in the diesel depot. Our two photo features show
the contrasting scene in the Peak District and at Finsbury
Park depot.
John Baker concludes his series of articles about the paint
schemes applied at Eastfield depot in the final years before it
closed.
In TRACTION MODELLING…. we feature the marvellous
4mm scale layout Perry Barr set in the Birmingham area
which is complete with scratchbuilt overhead catenary. In
the review section there is a look at the superb Irish Railway
Models A Class/001 locomotive
