RMweb Gold Not Jeremy Posted August 25, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 25, 2017 I have just added more information to the Wild Swan website, showing covers of books that have been produced since I took the business on, and also featuring a page which gives some information on forthcoming and future Wild Swan titles. I will be endeavouring to add content to this website that will complement the books and also provide a more "content rich" experience. http://wildswanbooks.co.uk/index.html Simon Castens 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Santa will have to pay a visit to Bath. And that's wiythout mentioning 'Moocher' Green the Westbury Fireman who was teh real Fireman on the Inspector's historic journey behind the Titfield Thunderbolt> Edited August 27, 2017 by The Stationmaster Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium HillsideDepot Posted August 27, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 27, 2017 The photo of the platform passenger information screen announcing a delay to the Titfield train is brilliant! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it just. I'd like to know who did it, I'm afraid I shamelessly lifted it from Facebook! Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted August 27, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 27, 2017 This man is probably 50% responsible for the two new bookcases and 16 cubic feet of book space I bought last month. He MUST(n't) be stopped! Could you persuade Peter Barnfield to reproduce the PBLR pamphlet as a softcover WS book like the modelling series?, I'll buy several to help Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERS Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Is there any hope of a reprint of the Wisbech and Upwell volume from the early days of Wild Swan? 1986 I think the original publication date was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Not Jeremy Posted August 27, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 27, 2017 Is there any hope of a reprint of the Wisbech and Upwell volume from the early days of Wild Swan? 1986 I think the original publication date was. I don't think a straight reprint would really cut the mustard, but that said I would really like to re-visit this subject. If you are or you know someone interested in and competent to pull together good images and write something then I'd be very interested to hear from you or about them. Please feel free to follow this up with a pm if you have any ideas or suggestions in this regard. Thank you for the suggestion! Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you persuade Peter Barnfield to reproduce the PBLR pamphlet as a softcover WS book like the modelling series?, I'll buy several to help Well it's funny you should mention that Paul. I do have a cunning plan in this regard and conversations are underway with Peter. I would (for myself if no-one else) dearly love to see The Portersfoote Bunting Light Railway in print and although I haven't (yet) mentioned it on the website it is a definite project as far as I am concerned. Peripheral to this, but related, I am just about to pick up another one of Peter's own models of the PBLR from my late friend Dick Dorton's widow. (Dick had motorised it while he had it "on loan" as he used to run it on his nice 16mm portable layouts) This will mean I have a nearly complete collection of the models that Peter built, all of which are very worthy of display and would form a good promotion for any new book I would like to think. More generally, I'm hoping to expand the website with more information around the books. First to get this treatment will be the new Bridport book, Gerry has sent me as nice additional memory of the line from Peter Squibb which I will post up soon. Thanks very much for your kind comments! Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
