In the first of a series of monthly articles, we find out what magazines have got some sort of OTP news in them.

At the moment, we only have four commercial magazines covered (Entrain, Modern Railways, Railway Observer, Todays Railways) so if you get any of the other mags and there is an article about OTP in it, please send it in, preferably before the end of the month. Thanks.

Modern Railways - August 2002 issue

Four page feature about new investment in OTP, including 3 more new Matisas for GrantPlant, and Balfour Beatty are getting 3 Plasser tampers a year for the foreseeable future. Other interesting snippets in the article make it well worth a look.

Back issues

If you feel like ordering any past issues of a magazine, RAIL issue 426 is worth a look, which has a four page beginners guide to OTP.
