It is possible that due to paper rationing, early numbers of Trains Illustrated were issued as separate, undated and unnumbered publications under the same title and in the same format. It may be the case that the authorities took exception to this circumvention of the regulations and legal proceedings against the publishers were instituted.
Furthermore, strike action may have occurred in the printing works and only a few copies of an octave issue were therefore published. To outmanoeuvre the strikers the publishers recomposed the type and published in quarto in the same style as the Locomotive, Carriage and Wagon Review, owned by the same firm.
