Fenway Park Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Neil Parkhouse of Lightmoor Press has confirmed the publication of this book is imminent. The books are on their way from Poland and should arrive later this week. The volume covers Defford to Gloucester Eastgate: Barnwood Shed: Ashchurch to Evesham and Ashchurch to Upton On Severn. Originally there was to be one volume, but he has acquired slides postcards and photo collections so much so this volume covers Eastgate Street and Barnwood Shed in great detail as well as many pages on the Evesham line. Awaiting publication so I can pick up a copy from the Dean Forest Railway Shop. Malcolm 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it includes Aschurch to Upton, hopefully the Tewkesbury Quay line will feature as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branwell Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 A bit more on this: Book in preparation. Release date to be advised. Since starting the series of colour illustrated books covering Gloucestershires' railway network a considerable mass of material has been contributed and several revisions of the planned areas of coverage for each volume have been made to accommodate the wealth of new information. Volume 3 had been planned to cover the Midland Railway and branches, but the number of excellent photographs contributed has seen this split to two volumes, the first will cover the Midland lines North of Gloucester, through Cheltenham and Ashchurch along with the branches from that route. The lines to the South of Gloucester towards Bristol, along with the Stroud/Nailsworth, Dursley, Sharpness and Thornbury branches are now expected to form volume 4, subject to further revisions to control the page count! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branwell Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Received this morning and it doesn't disappoint. Only had time for a very quick flick through so far, but immediate highlights are the Tewkesbury Quay branch (i'd never realised that the front wall of the shed was blue brick as opposed to red brick for the rest of the walls) and some shots of the Midland goods yard at Gloucester, 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 46444 Posted November 15, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 15, 2017 I've a feeling Santa may bring me a copy of this courtesy of a certain Mr SC ... Looking forwards to a good read over the Festive period! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted November 16, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 16, 2017 Another fantastic volume. And for anyone who knows Trevor Morgan at Cheltenham Models you get a free photo of him on the cover - that's him in the white shirt on the end of Gloucester Eastgate platform.....!

Fenway Park Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 Agreed, the book is superb. The photos of Tewkesbury shed provide inspiration for a project. Hopefully the Bachmann 1P will appear in 2018. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthesnail96 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 As is becoming traditional I also had to wait for Father Christmas to deliver a copy to me.
