Welcome
Due to the publication dates of TRACTION the first
issue of 2024 appears at the end of November 2023!
Nevertheless all of us at TRACTION would like to wish
our readers and advertisers a Happy Christmas and a
successful 2024.
We start this issue with an article about one of the
editor’s experiences in the early 1970s when he spent
a night watching rail traffic through York. It’s difficult
to realise nowadays just how busy the railway at this
location was overnight, and almost all of the trains were
loco hauled!
David Ratcliffe returns with another of his detailed
articles about freight trains, this time looking at
Freightliner container trains in the North West.
Whilst our railways in Britain have long been the
safest way to travel, from time to time, there are terrible
accidents. Colin Boocock revisits the events leading to
the disaster at Colwich in 1986, with which he was heavily
involved.
In the next of Paul Shannon’s series of articles about
freight terminals, he looks at those involved with handling
metal products.
Roy Kethro continues his fascinating and well received
series of articles about his early railway career at Bristol
Bath Road depot, revealing just went on behind the
scenes at one of Britain’s major depots.
We have two photo features, the first concentrating
on Southern Region electric multiple units in Berkshire and
Surrey, whilst the second takes us to the Yorkshire Dales and
the stone traffic from the quarry at Rylstone.
In TRACTION MODELLING our featured layout is ‘Splott’, a
1990s era P4 layout set in the Cardiff area. Is an atmospheric
layout portraying heavy industry and the rail traffic that
served it.
