In Steam Railway SR570, we go behind the scenes of the Rother Valley Railway’s schemes to reconnect the Kent & East Sussex Railway with the main line at Robertsbridge.
Elsewhere, we celebrate the return of Newstead – a locomotive once believed to have been scrapped before it was rediscovered in a Hertfordshire convent; we continue our story of how Flying Scotsman and Pendennis Castle were reunited in Australia; Dr Michael Bailey explains the importance of properly understanding early locomotives and railways; we tell the story behind ‘Lord Oliver Brown’, its colourful livery and its vital fundraising mission; and we look back at the ‘Rail 150’ cavalcade of 1975 and find out where its star exhibits are today.
