The West Lancashire Line
Martyn Hilbert returns with another of his route profiles, this time focusing on the West Lancashire Railway, the former main line route between Preston and Ormskirk that could in the future see its status upgraded once again. As ever, Martyn’s feature is illustrated with a great selection of his photography taken on the line.
10 Pictures: Steve Sienkiewicz
For this month’s 10 Pictures feature, we are treated to another outstanding collection of images spanning almost five decades, courtesy of the lens of North West-based photographer and regular Railways Illustrated contributor Steve Sienkiewicz.
Model Spot
This month Simon Bendall explains how he detailed and weathered a trio of Heljan Class 33s to produce some realistic looking models for a 1980s-themed model railway layout.
