Fourteen pages of historic diesel traction photographs remind us of just how much our railways have changed in the last 40 years or so.

With some fine colour illustrations, Modern Traction Editor Colin J. Marsden gives a Step-by-step account of how they moved 'Deltic' from London's Science Museum to the National Railway Museum, York.

In Switzerland to witness the launch of Alp-transit, Chief Correspondent Peter Sem-mens watches the start of work on the new Gotthard Base Tunnel.

The Perkins 2006-TWH diesel engine now used on several varieties of diesel multiple unit in Britain is described in great detail by Peter Semmens together with some interesting notes on leaf-fall problems.

To coincide with 'Deltic's' historic move to York, Colin J. Marsden looks back to the English Electric prototype's trial running in the 1950s.
STEAM
27. EVIDENCE NOT IN CAMERA For one reason or another, certain locomotives, or even connected events, were at best only rarely captured on film. Phil Atkins turns up some intriguing photographs to illustrate his thought-provoking article.
