In SR586, we celebrate the surviving locomotive legacy of Sir Nigel Gresley to mark the legendary designer’s 150th anniversary. We also take a closer look at both the new-build Crampton 4-2-0 project and the overhaul of BR ‘5MT’ No. 73050; we remember renowned railway sound recordist Peter Handford; we explore the significant of Columbine following the National Treasure’s return to York; Dr Robin Coombes examines the implications of our warming climate on our heritage railways, and Trevor Ermel showcases images of South African steam, taken 50 years ago.
