The following is a list of published articles relating to the subject of Modern Steam and/or the 5AT Project. [Note: a similar listing of articles can also be found in the Project Promotion section of this website.]
-
June and July 2002 - Steam Railway published a two-part article "Steaming into the Future" by David Wardale in SR 272 p.36 and 273 p.44, reproduced in unabridged form on this website.
-
SR went on to publish four letters in response to Wardale's articles: from Chris Newman, Ray Christopher and Peter Featherstone in SR 275 p.47 (Sept 2002) and from Angus Eickhoff in SR 276 p.38 (Oct 2002). (Unabridged versions of two of these letters are reproduced.)
-
Wardale's response to Eickhoff's letter appeared in SR 277 p.34 (Nov 2002) along with two other letters from Graham Lawrence and Leonard Staghurst.
-
A response from Chris Newman to Mr Staghurst's letter was published in SR 279 p.48 (Jan 2003); unfortunately Dave Wardale's very informative reply was not also published.
-
A letter sent to SR by Mr. Bryan Attewell in response to the Wardale articles also failed to gain publication and hence Dave Wardale's prepared response to it was also not published. With permission of both SR and Mr Attewell, his letter and Wardale's response are reproduced here.
-
Discussion on the articles finally ended with another letter from Angus Eickhoff to Steam Railway which did not get into print: Mr Eickhoff's letter is reproduced here with permission of both SR and its author.
