New to the catalogue we welcome The Atmospheric Eastern

 

From London Kings Cross to Fraserburgh, from bucolic branch lines to the hives of industry, the London & North Eastern Railway had it all. Its range of motive power was tremendous, from Pugs pootling around goods yards to streamlined Pacifics streaking through the landscape. With good bits, bad bits and in some cases the downright ugly bits all adding to the atmosphere that stretched from the banks of the Thames to the northern coast of Scotland – the 6,500 route miles were full of contrast.

Many of the inherited locomotives and rolling stock did well to survive into the Nationalised era – the LNER, as a company was never flush with cash. It was however full of new ideas, from steam railcars to electrification – not always successful – that was to capture the public’s attention. The sheer variety of motive power, rolling stock and goods traffic certainly contributed to the flavour of the times.

160 Pages packed with 180 exclusive previously unseen Black & White photographs in a large format. HARDBACK

Railways Remembered: Images from the Derek Cross Collection

 

Yesterday afternoon we took delivery of this latest volume in the Railways Remembered series devoted to the colour work of Derek Cross with material collected by his son David. Derek took a wealth of material of which it seems a lot was never previously published, even though his name was among the most famous of cameramen during the age of steam and early diesels. Its arrival has certainly prompted a number of you to get orders in straight away, and why not indeed...

Deal of the week to clear take a look at this for your collection.

 

STEAMING THROUGH THE CHILTERNS AND THEREABOUTS

75%+ OFF RRP is £22.95

Photographs by H.C. Casserley

Compiled by Robert Freeman and Mary Casserley

 

In this the sequel to Steaming through Berkhamsted, Mary Casserley has teamed up with local steam enthusiast Rob Freeman to produce another album of pure local railway nostalgia featuring historic photographs by H C Casserley, her famous grandfather.

 

This volume covers: more Berkhamsted scenes, Princes Risborough and branches, the Met. from Moor Park to Aylesbury, includes Rickmansworth and Chesham, Aylesbury and beyond, Watford branches, St Albans, and Potters Bar. There are also sections on the big Freeze of 1947, unusual workings, and, despite the title some exceedingly rare views of early diesel and electrics are to be enjoyed too as we move into the transition era.

 

128 Pages presented with colour on every page as a mix of important black & white archive photographs around a background including tickets from the period in an attractive colour rendition. SOFTBACK

 

(Review by Humphrey Gillott – Retired Railway Mission Chaplain). If you are one of those people who loves to get lost in a book, then this is one of those books in which you can do just that.

 

Limited stock of course, first in best dressed.
