For all those people who have been hearing romours about this magazine.
I wish to inform all of you that it is still going ahead as planned. I
hope to have the first official issue available by the end of July. A
trial issue was completed a month ago and the response has been
overwhelming. People who are interested in finding out more can email me
at the above address, or via snail mail at : Motive Power Publications,
PO Box 2262, Gosford, N.S.W 2250. If you are interested in subscribing,
please contact me, leave your snail mail address, and I'll post a
subscription form out to you over the next month. It is planned to
publish it bi- monthly, cost at shops: $5.50, or via subscription, :
$30.00 for 6 issues ( 12 months) ($ 5.00 an issue).

For those people who don't know much about it, It is going to be an
A4 publication, 36 to 40 pages, Color front and rear cover, with news
and events mainly doing with locomotives from Australia and around the
world. All states, Preservation Societies and private rail groups will
be covered comprehensively. There will be at least two feature articles
an issue, and a photo style gallery. Also we are introducing a "combo"
of the month article, where we invite photographers to submit their most
unusual lashup. A prize of some sort ( to be decided) will be awarded
for the best "combo" shot.
As I am trying to setup this magazine to be very appealing to the
modern enthusiast, I would like to hear from anyone who has some ideas
or interested in assisting or sending info and photos for future issues.

Many thanks
