Line Steam Trust's quarterly magazine 'Main Line' was awarded second
prize in the 1997 bi-annual competition for magazines with a circulation
of over 500 sponsored by 'Steam Railway' magazine, being beaten into second
place by only one point. This is a fitting tribute to the hard work of
our volunteer editor, Nicola Holley. Judges comments ' A very competent modest-budget well laid out magazine. The variety in layout and use of photos and graphics make it a pleasant read. This being combined with good content and information. Very nice.' ' A splendid publication, as ever. It exudes quality, organisation and style and projects a very positive, professional image of the Great Central Railway. A clear typeface also helps to make it easy on the eye and encourage you to read further. In short this is an extremely slick publication.' ' Good picture content, including colour, with a very professional feel to the publication. Coverage, rightly centred on news of the railway but a "memory" article and notes for model railway enthusiasts should provide something of interest for all members.' ' The illustrations are consistently excellent. It is particularly pleasing to see such a superb job made of black and white reproduction as this seems to be something of a dying art these days. Long may such standards be maintained' ' Keeps up its quality image and the photography is superb. The layout is excellent, using light and dark typefaces, with a good ratio of words to pictures' The magazine is sent to our members, or can be purchased at Great Central Railway retail outlets. Regular features include: The way forward News from the Line News from the North Locomotive News Reviews Letters One Hundred years ago Model Notes Area Group Meetings and News Main
