    A note from the editor :

    Dear all,
    Just a quick note to advise that this week's edition of Railway Herald
    has been published, and forms a commemorative edition following the sad
    passing of Brian Morrison last week. It can be downloaded from the
    Railway Herald home page, and in view of the memorial nature, we have
    made the edition freely available to all, please feel free to pass on.
    To those of you who have contributed and helped, my grateful thanks.
    Hopefully you will enjoy the read and that the image selection over the
    seven decades of Brian's collections will bring back some recollections
    of days gone by. To those that have been on the various media visits
    over the years, a couple of the images may bring back some (hopefully)
    happy memories of colleagues past and present.
    To our colleages in the magazine world who may be looking to cover
    Brian's passing, please feel free to use excepts from the obituary in
    this edition in any coverage. It has been seen and approved by Brian's
    family. Should anyone require any images of Brian or from his
    photographic collection to go with any editorial pieces, please feel
    free to contact us.

    Cheers
    Richard
