RMweb Premium Legend Posted March 18, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 18, 2020 Yes book arrived yesterday afternoon and I spent a very pleasant evening going through the book . It just took me back to my youth interested in the railways . I’m glad that dmus and emus so often overlooked also featured . Class 303s and 311s were my usual ride back then along with Class 126 , 107 and 101 . Also I thought the standard of print on this book was superb . Amberley colour saturation can sometimes be questionable but it’s absolutely fine on this one . Many thanks for the book . As I said recreates happy times, even if we didn’t realise it then! A great diversion from today’s news . Will have another good look tonight 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sto243 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Looks very good - even the sample images you've shown us are reminding me of childhood trips to Glasgow. I've just ordered my copy from the publisher's website where they are offering a "Special price". 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold BoD Posted March 21, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 21, 2020 Mine arrived yesterday. I'm taking it a few pages at a time to savour it and make it last throughout this isolation. I need to be cheered up somehow. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 55020 Posted March 22, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 22, 2020 This totally hits the spot for both location and period. One copy has been ordered, now I have to endure that frustrating wait for it to arrive. Steve 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold young37215 Posted March 22, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 22, 2020 On page 38 you make reference to a picture of a Chipmans weedkilling train which you did not use because the picture has deteriorated. Your approach is understandable, however it is a train I am trying to recreate for my west highland line layout where available photos of any condiion are few and far between. I cannot find the picture in any of your galleries, irrespective of its condition, would you make a copy available on here? I doubt I am alone in having an interest. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
