NIGHT WATCH They were once such a common sight, but no longer: the night shed foremen. For the first of a new Steam Railway series on survivors from the old East Germany, TONY STREETER calls in on one at Wernigerode shed.

THREE WIGHT MICE Never in the field of railway preservation has so much been organised for so few… The Isle of Wight Steam Railway brought all three of its Ivatt ‘2MTs’ together in a heartfelt thank you to just two preservationists and a relative handful of volunteers. TOBY JENNINGS reports from Havenstreet.

FROZEN in TIME Reviving the railway of the 1950s and 1960s is one of lineside photographer PETER ZABEK’s dreams. In the first of an occasional series, he showcases preservation scenes that wonderfully recapture the Western Region.
