These two publications this month (May ‘21) have a very good supplement entitled The World of Railwayana. This includes some excellent write ups about the history of the hobby, trends and the wide and varied subject matter from pre-grouping nameplates to totems to platform tickets, posters and ephemera.
One article laments the passing of Collectors Corner and appeals for railway scrap merchants to be more proactive in selling on artefacts to the general public - a subject which has raised its head in threads elsewhere for example obtaining ex GWR and LNER first class seats.
All the articles are written with passion and enthusiasm for the subject and well worth a read If you manage to get a copy.
