The Overview

At a Glance

Steam World magazine bundle covering 28 consecutive issues from 152 to 179, spanning February 2000 to May 2002. This historical railway magazine collection comes in used condition with a black WHSmith magazine file included for tidy storage. Marketed on every cover as Britain's best-selling historical railway magazine.

Each issue brings steam locomotive photography, expert articles and first-hand BR steam era memoirs. You'll find GWR, LNER, LMS and Southern Region engines, named locos, shed visits and rare colour pictures. Flick through and you're back trackside, smoke drifting and whistles echoing across the platform.

All 28 magazines are present and intact. Expect typical reading wear, light shelf marks and occasional pen marks from previous ownership, as shown in the photos. The WHSmith file shows scuffs and surface marks but stays structurally sound. A genuine bundle of original Steam World (sometimes searched as Steamworld or Steam-World) back issues, dispatched from the UK. Does it include the file? Yes, the file is part of the lot.
