Trade Member Strathwood Posted August 10 Author Trade Member Share Posted August 10 First of all, apologies and thanks to all of you who have been waiting for Crecy's much delayed British Railways Freight Terminals Since 1960 to arrive. We have had promises of delivery many times from them since last October, so it was a pleasant surprise that a pallet full of them arrived Friday lunchtime in our warehouse. We managed to get some away yesterday and the remainder will go out early next week. Once again, many thanks for your patience and understanding as the delays were beyond our control. By the way they have changed the cover design too in case you don't recognise it. https://strathwood.co.uk/products/british-railways-freight-terminals-since-1960?_pos=1&_psq=TERMINAL&_ss=e&_v=1.0 Kevin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This weighty tome (384 pages) has been many years in the making and is compiled by a recognised expert on the subject from the signalling fraternity. The preorders exceed 200 copies out of the print run of 500 meaning it is unlikely to hang about long in stock. Full details can be found here. https://strathwood.co.uk/products/signalling-along-the-south-western-the-lswr-through-to-southern-and-br-periods Kevin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trade Member Strathwood Posted Wednesday at 13:57 Author Trade Member Share Posted Wednesday at 13:57 STEAMING THROUGH BROMLEY A tribute to a railway photographic legend by Mike King & Mary Casserley Like many railway enthusiasts, I had been aware of the names of Henry Casserley (HCC) and Richard Casserley (RMC) for many years. I had corresponded with both gentlemen and included a number of their photographs in several of my own rolling stock books. I never thought that I might have the opportunity of selecting and captioning them “en masse” and was both pleased and honoured when Mary Casserley asked if I would do just that for what would become the third book commissioned by her, of her late grandfather’s photographs; following on from “Steaming Through Berkhamsted” and “Steaming Through the Chilterns”. Of course, little did I know that those pictures taken between August 1931 and May 1939, while HCC resided at Bromley, would number in excess of 1800 images! So, it has proved to be quite a task – but one that I have enjoyed immensely. 160 Pages packed with both B&W photographs bringing the Southern Railway of the 1930s back to life.

Trade Member Strathwood Posted Friday at 09:10 Author Trade Member Share Posted Friday at 09:10 They have arrived, not by rail but by truck... Speedlink Volume 2 The Air-braked 'New' Batches Speedlink was launched in 1977 as an attempt to arrest the decline in British Rail's wagonload freight business. One of the things that distinguished Speedlink workings from almost all of the freight services that had preceded them was that all the wagons used were air braked. At its peak in the mid 1980s, it carried over 8 million tonnes annually. Despite this, Speedlink was never profitable, and in the run up to railway privatisation the service was abandoned in 1991. This is the second in a four-book series, each one complete in itself, which will provide a comprehensive survey of the whole Speedlink wagon fleet. This volume looks at the types on order in 1977 and delivered subsequently. It will also cover existing stock either fully or partially converted to be compatible on these services and include their former identities. Full coverage of each type is given, particularly livery changes and conversions where appropriate. Wagons produced under 15 Design Codes are covered in this second volume. Among the types included are; 100T Bogie Steel Carriers, 80T Bogie Plate Wagon, 49T Borail Wagon, Flatrol Nuclear Flask Wagon, 32.5T Hopper Coal Wagon, 31T Open Goods Wagon, 12T Pipe Wagon, 31T Plate Wagon, 45T Vanfit and14T Van (Ammunition). Written by wagon expert David Larkin and heavily illustrated throughout, this series is an invaluable source of reference for all those interested in the post steam era on Britain's railways. Those modeling the railway scene from the 1970s to the 1990s will also find these books essential reading. 160 Pages lavishly illustrated with 300+ Black & White photographs throughout.
