Editor’s Welcome

British Railway Modelling (BRM)

Grain and timber terminals • Paul Shannon looks at two types of terminal handling specific freight flows - grain and timber. What they have in common is their rural loading points, many of them small-scale and, therefore, good subjects for modelling.

Wichnor in June 1986 • John Dedman takes on a photographic expedition to a busy location in the Midlands.

Stirling station: then and now • David Clough was inspired by a feature about Stirling station, published in ‘Railway Magazine’ in January 1927.

Class 67s for sale • The news that DB Cargo has put 10 of its Class 67s up for sale should perhaps come as no surprise, given that there is little work for these 125mph locomotives. Gavin Morrison has looked through his photo archives for images of these locomotives in happier times.
