[formerly Moore's Monthly Magazine and later The Locomotive Railway Carriage & Wagon Review], vol.1-65 in 64 only (lacking only vol.62) and Special Issue for July 1959, plates and illustrations by F.Moore and others, some colour, some folding, occasional spotting and soiling, a few tears repaired, most volumes in original green cloth, the earlier ones with locomotive in gilt on upper cover, a little rubbed, some vol. lightly damp-stained, vol.23 modern green cloth, vol.25 and an additional vol.26 bound together in contemporary buckram, Special Issue in original pictorial wrappers (some a little creased, a few tears repaired, rubbed and soiled), 1896-1959; and a duplicate of vol.24, 4to; sold as a periodical, not subject to return (65) *** An excellent and almost complete run of this magazine, including many of the scarce supplements and indices often missing. It began life as Moore's Monthly Magazine in January 1896, quickly changing to The Locomotive Magazine, and was published monthly (except in 1903 when it was published weekly, leading to two volumes in that year) by the Locomotive Publishing Co which was taken over by Ian Allan in the late 1950s. The final issue was that of November 1959 of volume 65. By that time, diesel and electrification had almost ousted steam and subscription readership had dramatically declined. The magazine from its beginning made much of its supplements. In the early days they were rather poor reproductions of photographs forming a page of the magazine but very soon the special supplements, of which there were initially two or three a year, were upgraded to colour plates, some of which were folded. Bound volumes during the First World War and the immediate post-war years are particularly rare, and bound volumes of the last few years of publication are also scarce as the circulation decreased due to competition from other titles and lessening interest in the railways. The publishers, Ian Allan, then amalgamated it with their other title, Trains Illustrated, already hinted at by the Special Issue of July 1959 as "Incorporating Trains Illustrated". A detailed list of the volumes with their supplementary plates bound in is available on application.
