We focus on the future and feature a New Zealand engineer with a revolutionary locomotive that he believes could provide a green steam-powered solution.

August was a big month for Steam Galas and September has even more – we have details of them all.

James Waite describes a fascinating 2ft gauge line to a dam high in the Swiss Alps.

David Joy recalls a long, hot day chasing steam in Guatemala.

And John Organ describes a powerful now lost class of Austrian locos.

Our unrivalled all narrow-gauge news coverage stretches over 10 pages and includes a brand-new line coming to Scotland.

Plus much more including modelling, dates to see trains in a action in September and the very best in narrow gauge photography.
