I had most of these excellent articles. Trains Illustrated was full of good stuff in the 50s. I ended up donating all mine to the Wensleydale Railway for funds! Many can be found in secondhand store ( a superbly catalogued outfit) at The Vintage Carriage in Ingrow on the Keighley and Worth valley railway. If you cannot make it there they will check what they have in stock...good luck.
