RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted May 29, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 29, 2018 Superb selection of photos. Was not expecting to see one of 66789 included! Does mean that you won't be able to say delays are due to the Chinese in the future though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Strathwood Posted May 30, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 30, 2018 Superb selection of photos. Was not expecting to see one of 66789 included! Does mean that you won't be able to say delays are due to the Chinese in the future though. These were printed in the Czech Republic so they get trucked over to the warehouse in Bedford, much easier than the " Chinese Takeaway " option. A word to the wise for those contemplating this title especially, as a check through the warehouse this morning revealed there are only just on 200 copies left, won't be remaindering these I am sure. It might be more expensive per unit with shorter print runs, but then I don't have to store them for ages which costs a fortune. Kevin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Griffin Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I obtained a copy of this book from the Ian Allen shop at Waterloo along with he class 40 one. Kevin, Excellent in a word, However, I don't know if it stretches for the entire print run but the aforementioned picture of 66789 in my copy is quite pixelated, almost like its a mobile phone picture blown up too big. This is the first time ever that I've noticed a picture that is poor quality in the 40+ Strathwood books I own. regards dan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin I must say I didn't notice until it was pointed out. Older images are not quite so clinically sharp as modern digital ones, so less noticeable than if on its own.

E3109 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 The 66 is a bit of a paradox on rails for me, 'cos as much as I dislike the things (as an enthusiast) I wholeheartedly appreciate the sentiment, especially its name. I know this is a bit picky but I've always preferred the term 'Revised Blue' rather than 'large logo'. Splitting hairs, I know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ColinK Posted June 11, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 11, 2018 Just finished reading my copy; well, what an excellent book. As well as all the excellent and interesting pictures, what suprised me is the vast number of differences in the livery from loco to loco. Gives plenty of ideas for personalising individual locos, or lots of choice for shops wanting to produce a limited edition model. Looking forward to reading the other four new books, glad I bought the full set. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is a bit picky but I've always preferred the term 'Revised Blue' rather than 'large logo'. Splitting hairs, I know. But revised blue would have ruled out photos in railfreight grey, which also had the larger double arrows, and “revised blue” does rather imply a different blue hue. That being said I was expecting a book of Large Logo Blue photos, but I’m pleased it isn’t! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Strathwood Posted June 20, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 20, 2018 A word to the wise, we are down to the last 70 copies of this title in our warehouse already, whilst a number of retailers may well still have copies, including the Fifty Fund and the Deltic Preservation Society the run on this title just before Father's Day was impressive, so don't hang back we won't be discounting these help the preservation movement and purchase directly from them when you can. Our next five titles; Steam Lament British Railways Standard Pacifics Steam Lament British Railways Standard Class 9Fs Steam Lament British Railways Standard 4-6-0s & Moguls Steam Lament British Railways Standard Tank Locomotives Steam and the Scrapyards These are all expected to be delivered to us late July, again I am happy with the shorter print runs from our perspective. More details on these soon. Kevin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't suppose you have plans for a follow up? Best wishes Max Hello Max, No direct follow up planned as the last two volumes in the Seventies Spotting Days series, one each for the ECML and the WCML will be released in September. However, there are two more Seventies Diesel & Electric Days Remembered in preparation just now for 2019, with a generous Scottish content.

w124bob Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 My copy arrived today and is excellent, just surprised there's no image of 56036 as it's where it all started! I remember working with it almost ex works at Coalville. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember working with it almost ex works at Coalville. Simple answer to that about question on 56036, is we could couldn't find a shot of the beast in sunshine all the shots we found were on very dull days, having said that, no doubt someone will come out of the woodwork with one but will they allow us to publish, that's another matter as usual. Glad you like the books. Kevin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
