During my recent visit to the UK, I picked up a scattering of magazines. Fellow fans of the J67s and J69s will be interested to know that the August 2007 (Vol.12, Issue 9) issue of "Railway Bylines" has a cover article on these useful little engines. The article does not have a main text as such but has extensive captions accompanying ten pages of interesting photographs.
For those who prefer something a bit bigger, "Model Rail" No. 107 (August 2007) has a 'masterclass' on the Peppercorn A1s - ie. a series of articles on the prototype, available models, modifying the Bachmann OO model, etc.
(not a locomotive as such, but BRM Sept '07 has an excellent model of Kings Cross in N - yes it is foreshortened, but effective)

As a J67/J69 fan, thanks for the tip!
These little engines with their Westinghouse pumps, stovepipe chimneys and forward domes could look quite "un-English" from some angles - there is a photo of one at Harwich, shunting the train ferry, in the evening light, which makes one wonder which side of the North Sea this was.
