Unlikely though it may seem, issue 9 marks Miniature Railway’s third anniversary.We’re delighted with the way the magazine is shaping up, and particularly with this issue, which seems to cover quite a lot in 52 pages.Both of our family lines get a mention this time,but we’ve also been out and about in Devon, Dorset and Cumbria. Thanks to everyone who has helped the magazine get established, especially to my father Patrick Henshaw, without whose knowledge and photographs it would be a very slim volume, to Dave Holroyde, whose encyclopedic loco knowledge has proved invaluable, and to all the other occasional and regular contributors. Do keep the information coming - issue 10 isn’t all that far away!
