    Nick Brodrick traces the fascinating history of this Lyme Regis branch veteran, the strange quirks of fate that ensured its survival, and asks whether this celebrity locomotive can – or will – ever return to steam.

    We also bring you part two of our in-depth look at coal, and discover what preservation is doing to mitigate the effects of DEFRA’s proposed coal ban. There’s also the penultimate part of our ongoing new-build analysis – this month focussing on the BR Standard projects – and Peter Zabek showcases his best London Midland Region recreations.
