Old Glory Archive Magazine

25 November 2022

Welcome to Old Glory Archive Volume 10 – The Mono Files The archive of photographic images lodged with Old Glory magazine built up considerably over the three decades between 1990 and 2020 and it was always a pleasure to help enginemen by locating images of their engines from their commercial past. We were also fortunate that during that time our Senior Correspondent and eminent early steam preservationist John Crawley provided a host of features drawn from his own incredible photo archive. The auction of material after his passing also enabled the magazine to purchase several volumes of photographs from engine manufacturers that were ‘thin on the ground’ in our own archive. After John died, another of our regular correspondents, Mike Dyson, who had already produced the popular ‘Road Test’ articles, where he was invited to drive other people’s engines, kindly offered to fill the gap left by John by running a series of archive features for the magazine drawn from his own collection. This volume includes some more of Mike’s efforts, alongside those of Technical Editor Derek Rayner, David Viner, and the late Alan Barnes
