RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted January 4, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 4, 2019 Welsh Railway Records Volume 2 – Barry Railway Drawings By Trefor Jones, Mike Morton Lloyd and Rhobat Bryn Jones 144 pages, A4 size. Printed on gloss paper with laminated board covers. Drawings of 19 locomotives, 2 motor cars, 14 coaches, 2 brake vans and 6 wagons. 80 photographs/ illustrations and 2 maps. Livery and numbering details. This is the second volume in the Welsh Railway Records series, which includes the drawings of Trefor L Jones and Mike Morton Lloyd, with additional drawings by Richard Evans. Livery information comes from ‘Great Western Way’ by kind permission of Cliff Harris and the Historical Model Railway Society. The drawings are reproduced at a consistent 7mm scale, as they were originally drawn, and includes some locomotives as rebuilt by the GWR. They form an invaluable resource not just for modellers but also for historians who wish to learn more about that fascinating period from 1836 to 1922 when Wales had so many of its own railway companies. The introduction has returned to original source material to give a history of the Barry Railway, whilst the Appendices give build, renumbering and withdrawal details of all the locomotives owned by the Company, and details of rolling stock types and their renumbering upon absorption into the GWR in 1922. RRP £20.00 plus £3.50 p&p Shop on line at wrrc.org.uk BEING LAUNCHED AT THE LITTLE CARDIFF SHOW on 26th January Jonathan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted January 8, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 8, 2019 It has been delivered.

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted January 26, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 26, 2019 An excellent tome - not just a book of drawings but a good bit more about 'the Barry' as well plus some interesting photos of rather more than individual locos and items of stock. Definitely worth the £20 price asked of us non-members if you have any interest at all in the Pre-Group Railways in this part of South Wales. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devo63 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Thank you Jonathan and Simon for the shipping info to Australia. I may have to wait to order as the good ol' Aussie Peso has not been that strong lately against the GB Pound. Currently A$1.00 = £0.547. Dave R.
