The August 1905 edition of the Railway Magazine was the 98th issue. In preparation for its 100th edition, it carried an advert for its 'centenary' of issues. ... The Railway Magazine had been established for over 8 years! It might appear from the way Wordpress allocated featured images, that the advert had something to do with Goddard's Polish! Don't be daunted by this, it is just one of the adverts in the 98th issue. ....


"As a memento of this success of the RAILWAY MAGAZINE, we propose to make the 100th Number (October, 1905), a special issue, containing, in addition to the usual articles, several contributions by the leading experts in various phases of railway working, locomotive development, etc. A feature of these special articles will be the reference to improvements in train services, locomotive working and railway management that have taken place during the past 8 years. The RAILWAY MAGAZINE is entitled to the credit of suggesting many of these improvements. With the 100th Number of the RAILWAY MAGAZINE will be issued a Large Presentation Plate, specially drawn, showing the evolution of the steam locomotive from 1803 to the present time, by means of typical engines of various periods."
