Happy days Peter Yep, Never Again Finale should be out next year. Then no doubt there'll be an encore to the finale as well, and continue ad infinitum! Parcel Force tried to deliver my set yesterday, unfortunately I'd just jumped in the shower when the doorbell rang. At least they've left it at the post office 5 minutes walk away, so I'll head down there in a bit. The missus isn't home from work until 8pm so plenty of time to read it today!

I did enquire aboiut my order yesterday and have recevied this reply - 'We have been informed by the printers In Poland that there is a delay with the print-run of our books. They were supposed to complete the job in May, but it has now gone back to mid-June before they will be despatching them to us. They have had problems obtaining the required quality gloss paper which we specify, and we didn't help by recently increasing the number of pages from 216 to 240 in each book. We will be updating our website www.mnabooks.com in the Latest News section as and when more news comes in concerning deliveries. Our apologies for the unfortunate delay to the publication of the books.' I thought I'd post it here as it may be of interest to others on the forum.

HighlandRailwayman Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 My set of finale arrived last week, which was a very pleasant surprise - had alerts from courier that it was dispatched, so was eagerly awaited. Once again, it doesn't disappoint and is a fitting end to an amazing 10 volume set! Well done MNA! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edthefolkie Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) I've had the Finale for a while now. Just as good as the others. The only problem I can see is that the whole lot are liable to pull the sitting room down! 🙃 One strange thing in one of the Finale volumes - there is a photo of more or less the last rites at Nottingham Victoria in 1966. It was practically identical to one I'd taken on the same day (see below), but better. It was by a gentleman who I didn't meet until years later in London - he happens to be associated with the er, MNA. Several of us have been getting together in Derby 2 or 3 times a year, and said gent turned up for a flying visit, between trains, at the most recent one. Er, I had to buy him a beer straight away... Truly, the steam community is a small world. Edited September 14, 2022 by Edthefolkie Illiteracy 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
