Portchullin Tatty Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Just learnt today direct from Peter Tatlow that WS are intending to publish Volume 4B - the final one - this autumn (2014 that is, seeing as it's been going on for so long). This is still going to be the case, there are page proofs in existance I understand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
34theletterbetweenB&D Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 So I might just be getting a Christmas present then? Have plasticard and brass channel, plus ambitions for the SCVs that could be seen at Dawnays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portchullin Tatty Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 So I might just be getting a Christmas present then? Have plasticard and brass channel, plus ambitions for the SCVs that could be seen at Dawnays. Yes, and as a taster, here is the index page from the proofs to show what it will be covering. With 180 pages on top of the 160 that went before, you can see why it needed to be split into two volumes! I don't have an actual intended date for publication but it won't be long. lner wagons.pdf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portchullin Tatty Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Gents, there has been a little slippage on this due to family issues, so autumn will move into early winter I am afraid. However, Santa ought still to be delivering part B this Christmas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portchullin Tatty Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Does this mean it may be available at Warley please Mark? I Probably not. It was what was being aimed at, but I doubt that this will be possible now. Sorry. If I get a better update, I will advise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pint of Adnams Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 With the transfer of the business to Titfield Thunderbolt, production is now on hold. Simon Castens has promised Peter Tatlow (and us) that it will be the first publication under his new ownership. Without committing to an actual date, sometime in the Spring might be a possibility...

Pint of Adnams Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Although my copy will be awaiting despatch from Bob Pearman and the delays due to the Easter public holidays, I will offer a sincere and grateful 'THANK YOU' to Simon for taking on the Wild Swan range. He has been true to his word by bringing the first book to market under his ownership as promised and by doing so has seen completed an excellent work on a complex subject by a knowledgeable and respected author. May this initial success continue and here's looking forward in anticipation to more works of a similar standard (preferably LNER/Eastern based).

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted April 4, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 4, 2015 Hi. I have purchased my copy of volume 4b from the York Show, and although I've only been able to quickly look through it, it is clearly the equal with the earlier volumes in this series of books. Am very pleased with what I've seen. Well done! All the best, Market65. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garethp8873 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Received my copy today of LNER Wagons Volume 4B today. Have to say it has been well worth the wait as this volume contains information I've needed for a long time. It has also surprised me as it's revealed things to me that I never knew before until now. Was very surprised to learn that seven LNER Cattle Wagons were sold to the LMS...!! Following this interesting fact, a LNER Cattle wagon in LMS livery will now have to be made for my layout...!! All in all, an excellent conclusion to the history of the wagons of the LNER and it's pre-grouping companies!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben04uk Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Also agree that LNER Wagons Volume 4B looks like a very good book at first glance. If only there was as good a book on LMS standard designs are the R.J. Essery Illustrated Histories really don't go into the depth that Peter Tatlow has here.

RMweb Premium DavidLong Posted April 10, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 10, 2015 The LNER and SR wagon volumes are exemplary of their type. The LMS volumes were excellent for their time but are overdue an update and expansion along the lines of Peter's from his original volume. I've never really got on with the various versions of the GWR history, they seem to lack the clarity of the LNER and Southern books. And I'm still waiting for B.R. Wagons Volume 2 . . .

Ben04uk Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Agree the LNER and SR volumes are the best. Just a shame that the biggest wagon builder, the LMS, has such poor coverage. Hopefully someone out there will produce a good series one day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
