caradoc Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Looks a really interesting book (but I can't believe Platform 5 still do not have a website !) 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodenhead Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I got a copy t the GCR event, it's a good read, lots of background information. Would have liked a few more maps of the pre Tinsley set up (there are some and I could just look at an old map too). But overall so far I feel it is money well spent, I've seen books as big covering all the UK marshalling yards. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But overall so far I feel it is money well spent, I've seen books as big covering all the UK marshalling yards. We tried to cover as much as possible of the pre Tinsley era but when it came to maps you really have to use them large or it's not worth bothering. That would have impacted on space for other images and we preferred to use a lot of unseen images instead. The books covering all the yards in one Volume can never have as much detail as we provided and so we are very pleased with the results and the great feedback we have had, thanks to everyone who has purchased it so far. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodenhead Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Still reading my copy that I got at the GCR modelling event in June. Halfway through the 80s chapter, I won’t spoil it for anyone who doesn’t know what happened after the 80s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a pic of Nunnery Coal depot and there are pics and diagrams of the nearby depots at Bridgehouses, Wicker,Park Goods amongst others, it tells the story of Tinsley so includes most of the small yards closed as a result of its opening Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold russ p Posted August 31, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 31, 2019 One of the best books I've ever read, got it when it first came out and basically couldn't put it down once I started reading it. Very good and superb photographs, from a personal perspective it reminded me of my early driving career working many trains from Tinsley and Treeton to Teesside. There are a quite a few pictures of people I knew from that period. Happy days. Was in Olivia's about a month back and quite a few in stock there 1 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
caradoc Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I got this book for Christmas and it really is wonderful, worth every penny. It does however make me sad that when I visited Tinsley, all I was interested in was getting loco numbers, rather than spending time watching the place work ! However, that will be sorted when the Time Machine is perfected......... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
