It’s not due out until 15/3/20 John.....so might be someone with it at Ally Pally. Bill Hudson books are going might be worth asking them to bring some along. I’m going on the Saturday...hopefully. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Legroom Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Hi Andy I really enjoyed your new book. Nice to see some electrics and EMUs as they are often overlooked in favour of the scenic lines. I think my favourite photo is a very grubby 37191 which provides plenty of weathering inspiration. Max 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't want to sound picky as that's not my thing. Just finished my shift and sitting here again going cover to cover.. it's Ace. It's actually brought back a fair few memories, I particularly like the close up of the MK1 TSOT 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted March 15, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 15, 2020 Looking forward to seeing this. I am still crossing my fingers in ever fading hope that Ally Pally is still on as I intended to pick up a copy there but if it is binned I shall purchase online instead. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold young37215 Posted March 17, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 17, 2020 My copy arrived this morning and provided an enjoyable read which stirred a few memories of time spent in Scotland. The era covered is spot on for my modelling and the book will prove a useful adition to my collection. More to prove that I have read the book carefully than to be a complaint, the caption on page 38 relating to the lower picture of the class 37 is wrong. It is Glen Douglas, not Garelochead. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold young37215 Posted March 17, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 17, 2020 37191 looks good in both pictures. One question where I have the same issue with my version of 37178. In your picture at Mallaig the loco has 2 brackets of some description on the top of her nose. Neither of our models do; can anyone confirm what they are, (lamp brackets? ) and who makes model ones that we could fit if we chose to do so? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
