New book from Chris Ellis

[shortliner]

I promised, in an earlier past elsewhere, to update on the progress of the new book. Latest info is that Chris is talking to the printers this morning, and subject to their availability, hopes to have it out at the end of June or early July.

 Title will be "Modelling American Yards and Operations". Price will be for Uk, £7.50, Overseas £10.00 post paid in both cases. Orders can be placed now, and any received will be despatched on publication day.

orders can be placed through the Editorial address - Kristall Productions, 4 Surbiton Hall Close, KINGSTON, Surrey KT1 2JX, uk - or via the Model Trains International website www.ModelTrainsInternational.co.uk, along with any other books in the series

Thanks, Jack!

Good to know Chris is still active and this book sounds most interesting.

Cheers,

John.

Yes - Chris and I are both getting older, but we are both , thankfully, still active - We hope that our readers will find the book both instructive and inspiring - Hopefully still more to come later in the year

Looking at the site id be  more interested in them if they had a brief description to go with them to get an idea of them but its still an interesting book to put on a list

James - I have all of them, so if you'd like to PM me with the titles that are of specific interest and your email - I can probably let you have the details - be it only a scan of the contents.

 

Should have added - PaypaL through website - PO / cheque through postal address

Jack..just checked the MTI order page...unfortunately the new book still isn’t listed for purchase.

My guess is that Chris hasn't notified Emrys because it hasn't been published yet, and that is why it isn't there - You could try a direct email to Emrys and let him know you want one

Is this going to be like the previous books, i.e. variable quality (from acceptable to poor) facsimile reproductions of old magazine articles?

[shortliner]

Not having seen it, I can't tell you, but I expect it will be similar format. Bear in mind that a LOT of modern modellers have never had access to the older articles, of which many have designs that are still applicable today

I didn't have a problem with that aspect of it, Jack - in fact, it was really useful to have it all within one set of covers - but I could manage better quality photocopying the original articles than how some of them came out.
