In this issue

Where would we be without the ‘Yanks’? The story of a USA Tank and its buddies A former USATC S100 locomotive initially preserved on his home patch, John H Bird tells the eventful story of No. 30064 through to current times, the plot enriched by an overview of these 0-6-0Ts and particularly those purchased by the Southern Railway. North Wales coast main line summer Saturday traffic: 1954-63 Inspired by his role within a coast line traffic survey undertaken on the busiest day for holiday traffic in 1954, Chris Forrest delivers his data from that day, including some ex-GWR sightings, and offers the ongoing picture through to August 1963 with further observations of high-season long-distance passenger work in and around Chester.
