According to distributors COMAG: Britain’s best-selling transport and industrial heritage magazine, Old Glory evokes the sights and sounds of yesteryear with coverage of all types of steam engines, vintage vehicles and working heritage. Featuring the preservationists who transform derelict machinery into jewels of living splendour, Old Glory meets the people for whom classic engineering is a way of life.
Launched in 1988, Old Glory has been making news, as well as providing reviews and information about transport and industrial heritage machines for a quarter of a century.
After speaking to readers of the title over the summer to find out what they want from the title, Old Glory has been given a fresh new look to appeal to the army of vintage restoration fans.
Based on this feedback, Old Glory has been given a brighter, fresher new look from the December issue, with easier navigation, more events and a new columnist, ‘Tail Lamp Tom’.
As well as this, the December issue of Old Glory will have features about a 13-year-old restorer who has a collection of 40 vintage lawnmowers, the restoration project to bring life back to a Burrell traction engine and the world’s most expensive roller at more than £105,000
Elsewhere, this issue of looks at the preparation required before the Medway Queen could undertake the journey from Bristol to her home in Rochester. A veteran of the 1940 Dunkirk evacuation, the Medway Queen is a paddle steamer that has recently had a new hull fitted.
In addition to all this, the December edition of Old Glory has a great Christmas gift guide, asks what happened to all the steam trams built in the UK and reviews another successful year of industrial heritage projects and vintage vehicles restoration in the UK and around the world.
