• In the latest issue:

  • Britain's second-generation trams seemed to cope well in the pre- and post-Christmas snow, though some of Manchester's older fleet had traction motor problems. Most holdups were caused by rubber-tyred vehicles. Graham Sidwell's cover photograph shows Midland Metro car 13 kicking up the snow at the line's summit in West Bromwich.

  • Other features in this issue:

    • Rob Kievit has created a "what if" model of a Combino Duo in 0m which could run (full size) on the Isle of Man and does run on his fictional "not the Manx Electric" Isle of Waan layout, while Gordon Bulmer's latest 00-scale layout is set in a visitor attraction.

    • Milan's restaurant tram is featured, as is Helmut Gieramm's motorised Blackpool Lifeboat illuminated tram.

    • Plus the latest from the model trade, book reviews and diary of talks and exhibitions.

  Copies of the latest issue of Tramfare can be purchased on-line from TLRS Publications.
