Another magazine on the shelves: Trackside The Journal of Railway Preservation.

Just ordered a copy, see what it's like.

Certainly sounds interesting - I'd be interested to hear what those who've bought it thought about it.

Is this not just duplicating what is already available with Steam Railway and Heritage Railway magazines?

 

[75A]

Buy it and see.

Is this out now? My WH Smiths didn't have it (they usually have every magazine you could ever think of plus about a hundred you wouldn't!)

Note registered office is virtually in the same postcode as Steam Railway mag..Ex employees of that magazine.?

Update the two directors are Tony Streeter of Steam Railway magazine and Paul Appleton also I believe ex director of SR.

Certainly not a speedy delivery service, I ordered mine last Saturday, nothing received yet.

 

[75A]

Eventually came, my opinion:
1) Plenty about things deriving from BR Southern Region, so I was happy.
2) Too many articles begging for money.
3) Not a lot that I hadn't already heard about.
4) Would I buy it again? No.

When you say "too many articles begging for money", I assume you mean articles relating to preservation societies asking for donations for various projects?

Has anyone bought this? What are your thoughts on it, is it proving popular?

I bought the first, its a nice magazine but not really my cup of tea so didn't get any more.
