Welcome to the new website of TRACTION magazine, the bi-monthly publication which caters solely for those interested in the fascinating development of diesel and electric traction on the railways of the UK.

Within the pages of TRACTION you will find a wide variety of articles written by professional railwaymen, railway historians and enthusiasts. Each issue will contain high quality and thought provoking articles, as well as news of heritage traction on both the main and preserved lines. It goes without saying that photographic coverage will be of the highest possible quality as this is something that we believe is tremendously important. Within the pages of TRACTION there is also a section viewed from the perspective of the railway modeller.
