Modern Locomotives Illustrated is a bi-monthly modern traction magazine, dedicated to recording the development, operation and disposal of the UK diesel and electric fleets. First published in June 2008, MLI will over a 10 year period cover all modern traction classes of locomotive and multiple unit trains. In 2020 it was decided to further Modern Locomotives Illustrated after the completion of al
l the main classes, by relaunching a much improved, larger, and more informative MLIPlus magazine from April 2021. Again, we have continued the series numbering and the use of the Modern Locomotives Illustrated name in the title. MLIPlus is a much expanded product, with 100 pages in each issue, including four ‘gate folds’. This technology allows the use of larger and more impressive images. The relaunch of MLIPlus also enabled a revamp of design and presentation, while maintaining the high-quality style and coverage. Each of the MLIPlus issues now covers around 10 main subjects or features per issue, detailing some of the smaller classes of train or railway operation, concentrating of the previous successful style of Modern Locomotives Illustrated providing full technical and fleet information using tables, graphs, and drawings. With the launch of MLIPlus a new regular feature has been included ‘Through the Lens’ showcasing the best of the best in modern traction railway photography. Subscribe here:

It details a wide range of different trains including heavy aggregate, inter-regional passenger, test trains, the Orient Express, newspaper and mail trains, railtour excursions, engineers’ trains, w**d killers, and intermodal, steel, coal and nuclear flask traffic.
An extensive range of locomotive classes in different liveries, many now consigned to history, are shown at work in the ‘Garden of England’.

NEW BOOK - Class 70s - OUT NOW!
Britain’s Railways Series, Volume 16
In the late 2000s, Freightliner was looking to expand its locomotive fleet towards more powerful and fuel-efficient locomotives. The new Class 70 was a 3,690bhp locomotive built by General Electric and designed solely for freight use, with a focus on reliability and efficiency.
Containing over 190 colour photographs, this book is a collection of images showing every Class 70 locomotive, except the ill-fated 70012, over the last decade or so that they have been in service. It shows a variety of locations, mostly in the south of England, where these impressive locos can be seen at work.
