George Augustus Nokes

Born in Hammersmith, England, on January 5, 1867, he became widely known by the pen name G. A. Sekon. He is best remembered as the founding editor of The Railway Magazine, launched in 1897, where he helped build a strong readership for railway writing and enthusiast journalism.

Alongside his editorial work, he wrote books about railway and locomotive history, including studies of steam locomotives and the Great Western Railway. His writing is closely associated with the great era of British railways, and it remains of interest to readers who enjoy transport history and the story of early engineering.

He died on February 19, 1948. A suitable confirmed portrait image was not clearly available from the source pages I checked, so no profile image is included.
