Backtrack Magazine

[airfixfan]

There is an article on UTA Festival coaches from 1951 in current issue. This is what I am told as despite the magazine being published a week ago my subscriber copy has yet to arrive. Has anyone else got the December issue of Backtrack to confirm that there is an article yet?

Thanks David. Phoned today and as usual they blamed Coid and the Royal Mail. Strange as Heritage Railway arrived on time and another magazine arrived 2 days early.

Thanks for some reason overvthe last few this magazine now arrives in NI about 2 weeks after it was published. Mind you my last issue was addressed to the Irish Republic. Magazine was out November 19th but has yet to appear in my post box! Thanks

January issue out now has an article on Last Days of steam in NI. This was also theme of the excellent film show last night by Leslie of this parish for the IRRS London branch. Was just brilliant with a few teasing glimpses of the CDR. Thanks Leslie

To both humble scribes! many thanks. The Festival train and coaches I knew little about but we all must know about the Jeeps last years. It was the detail that interested me, like how few Jeeps there were to work that volume of traffic and fill in for failed railcars and specials.  With very little maintenance or backup, for me that speaks volumes about the men that crewed them and the basic design of the locomotive.
