RMweb Gold Not Jeremy Posted August 1, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) Now being printed and available from the middle of this month, the final part of the three part record and account of the wagons of the LNWR. Highly detailed and well illustrated with drawings and photographs throughout, this final volume broadly covers coal wagons, ballast wagons, tram trolleys and brake vans. Appendices cover Crewe Tranship shed, an early use of the distribution "hub" idea, ropes and sheets and finally additions and corrections to the first two volumes. This volume also has a comprehensive and accurate index to all three volumes in the series, mainly thanks to initial work by Pete Davis and exhaustive checking and additions from my good friend Nick Smith, thank you to both. And thank you also to the authors and members of the LNWR Society who made all the information available. Design work is by Steve Philips and printing and production has all been done in the UK by Amadeus Press in Cleckheaton. LNWR wagons vol 3 cover.pdf A dust jacketed cloth covered hardback with gold blocked spine, sewn binding and all produced on high quality art paper. Design and appearance consistent with volumes 1 and the hardback version of volume 2. £42.50, available direct or better still support your favourite specialist or independent bookseller by buying it through them. Stockists will include The Titfield Thunderbolt in Bath, Ian Allan bookshop at Waterloo, James Hudson in Matlock, Booklaw in Nottingham and others besides. I will update this thread when I have a firm date for availability. Simon Castens Edited August 1, 2018 by Not Jeremy 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jol Wilkinson Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Excellent! Now if the True Believers will just go and buy my LNWR buffers maybe I can afford the book. No wagons on the current to do list Guy, but I would buy some coach buffers if you did those! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Not Jeremy Posted August 13, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 13, 2018 Which presumably includes the Supplement No. 1. No, just the three volumes. However, page 205 of the new book does list all of the wagon types covered by the supplement, which is itself referenced in the bibliography on page 206 of the new book. I have just spoken to the printer and the bound books are expected to be ready for delivery to me from the beginning of next week, ie from the 20th August.
