Autumn breaks and back to winter!
Robin Jones and Gareth Evans present a stunning selection of autumn photographs submitted by readers, showcasing trains at work across the heritage railway sector, when steam locomotives performed in a changing, colourful landscape, in varying light and the wonderful effects a new season brings.

Keeping the quartet alive!
The North Eastern Locomotive Preservation Group owns four engines, all of which are now unique. Gareth Evans learns about the organisation’s history and latest developments, as well as how it is setting itself up for the future. He also shares the recollections of one of the group’s longstanding members.

The next train to the Rainbow’s End!
The legendary Colonel Stephens built a mineral railway in the Peak District - and it was used to carry passengers to the Rainbow’s End! Today, a team of volunteers is working on two fronts to revive the Ashover Light Railway, writes Robin Jones.
