Steam Railway SR477 – On Sale Now!

This month’s edition of Steam Railway celebrates Tornado’s tenth anniversary, as the new-build ‘A1’ prepares for its first public 90mph main line runs.


We also pay tribute to the legendary railwayman Dick Hardy, who sadly passed away last month, and look back at his incredible life.

Elsewhere in this packed edition of SR, we discover what’s happening at the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway as it prepares to open its extension to Broadway, round-up all seven surviving Great Eastern Railway locomotives, examine the wartime 2-8-0s and how they helped win the Second World War, and explore the fascinating history of the Canterbury & Whitstable Railway’s Invicta.

We also ask what you think will be the next ex-Barry locomotive to return to steam. Vote for which one you think it will be here.

· Oliver Cromwell to undergo second overhaul

· Princess Elizabeth’s move to Carnforth
