Kevin I take it back, I have just spoken to Crecy with our order for this week, and they have revised their story again to "yes, it is at the printers but is delayed leaving"! Once again even the trade are back in the dark... August was mentioned... Don't shoot me I am just the messenger. Kevin 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold C126 Posted July 23 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 23 Many thanks, @Strathwood . Full of excitement, I 'phoned Waterstone's a few days after reading your post, to be told it was still not in at Gardner's Books - if they do not hold it no-one does - which confused me. Now we know why... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold C126 Posted August 21 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 21 Collected my copy this morning, ten months after ordering it. I have yet to read the text, but the photographs look comprehensive, and in the first chapter, there are several of the goods being handled, which is most useful. There is a reprint of a picture I find most inspiring - 73 134 in Strood Yard in 1984 - shown in full landscape format with much atmospheric peripheral detail. First saw it heavily cropped to portrait format in Dr Michael Rhodes's Freight trains of British Rail, 1982, so that pleased me. As @Darius43 says, "Definitely worth waiting for". Incidentally, the t.p.v. says, "Printed in Lithuania by BALTO print"... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crecy, Amazon and Strathwood websites state the the book has 152 pages, but the above ‘Contents’ page lists 213 pages. Clarification would be appreciated - many thanks!
