'CHARD Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Does anybody know if this title has been released ? 'Due Late February,' but also 'Not Yet Published' on websites, so now imminent I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Strathwood Posted February 28, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 28, 2014 Still at the printers sadly but according to them not too far away from delivery, this is the problem for doing short print runs of just 1000 copies as what's left of the UK's book binding industry would rather put Jamie Oliver type cook books onto their machinery with 30,000+ print runs, than put 1000 railway books on first. Therefore we often get put to the back of the line for another week or so... Similar problems for others I suspect as well! Kevin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Strathwood Posted March 13, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 13, 2014 Delivery date now confirmed as Thursday 20 March in order that we will have copies for sale at Ally Pally for the London Festival of Railways on our stand, so come along and say hello, we just may have London Midland Steam Days Remembered II as well according to the printers, fingers crossed.

37114 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I have the excellent class 37 book so will definitely be getting a copy of this book Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Strathwood Posted March 25, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 25, 2014 For those who visited Ally Pally over the weekend, they will have already seen that we picked the books up en-route to the show. We will be shipping all the advanced orders during this week, pleased to report almost half the print run of 1000 copies are already sold. Looking back at Peaks is still at the printers and looks like delivery will be mid April now rather than late March. Kevin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Class 74 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I got the one about the Class 26 & 27, looking forward for this! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Very disappointed. Many pix are already on the web and colour saturation and balance is poor in some of the pix. A lot more effort could have gone into the reproduction. Was expecting much better plus many more unpublished images. I'd seen too many of the pics before. Shame.

RMweb Gold Strathwood Posted April 16, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 16, 2014 For some folk their glass is always half empty and their expectations higher than the moon. For Igor who has sent a couple of to be honest spiteful emails to me privately through RM Web since, he obviously has an axe to grind. However, he still chooses to continue hiding behind a false identity on RM Web, this is in spite of my offer to refund him in full and pay for the return of the book he claims to be dissappointed with. For this one bad remark I can honestly say I have taken by telephone, email and by letter a good number of positive comments from delighted customers. So as the former President of the US once said " You cannot please all of the people all of the time". So for this one remark from someone who still prefers to keep his copy rather than accept a full refund and his identity secret, I retain the right of reply, as it states on my website I will give a no quibble money back guarantee. Now I wouldn't do that if I thought everyone shared Igor's oppinion. So go ahead purchase in confidence. Kevin Derrick Strathwood Publishing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
caradoc Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I wasn't at all disappointed with this book, the exact opposite in fact. I cannot recall having seen any of the pictures before, and there are numerous superb images of 24s and 25s throughout their BR days. In my opinion, well worth anyone's £19.95. Looking forward to further volumes in this series (and 70s Spotting Days please Kevin !) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium EEType4 Posted April 27, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 27, 2014 Another excellent volume in the "Looking Back At" series. Plenty of images from the pre-tops BR Blue era, a particular favorite of mine. I have only seen, at most, a handfull of the images before and can thoroughly recommend this book to any prospective buyer. Bring on "Looking back at the Peaks" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold farren Posted July 15, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 15, 2021 Sorry late to this topic just received two books of The Looking Back series, covering the 24/25 and 26/27&33’s. excellent reference books for someone who remembers the BR blue period as a child even if I didn’t take much notice (sorry, into steam at that age) After a quick look I found the 31, and 37 are also covered which are a must for me.
