Cover: Gleaming loco, happy passengers – it was a time for celebration at the Richmond Light Railway
on 6th July with the relaunch of Bagnall 0-4-0ST ‘Pixie’, known to many narrow gauge enthusiasts as the Reverend Teddy Boston’s engine. Now the
loco is in the care of Richmond owner Jeremy Martin and back in action for the first time in almost two decades, superbly captured here by
Steve Town.
The inset picture shows the remarkable project by the Alishan Firest Railway in Taiwan to beat the ravages of typhoon damage, an innovative solution
described in detail in this issue.
