Baby Deltic Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Picked this up today after Grahame Wareham (Brush Veteran) drew it to my attention. A book filled with plenty of useful photographs featuring the historic nostalgia of the railways around East London. An absolute must for those with an interest in the GE routes around East London. Some of the photo's are very old/pre-grouping period. There are also some good shots of steam and diesel traction working around the East End.

trisonic Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Who has it in stock BD? Don't go mad I meant someone who'd ship to the 'States..... Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
'CHARD Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 BD, is there much in the way of the line to Dalston Jct from Broad Street, and particularly Bishopsgate and Spitalfields in their freight-only period? The area between Wapping and Shoreditch fascinates me having spent three years working there on the new ELL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Pete Does Amazon work like this for US residents? Here in France we have amazon.fr, but ordering stuff from amazon.co.uk works fine - even though it is often cheaper than the French version, even after postage etc. Worth a look, maybe?

Buckjumper Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Pete - the book has a print run of just 1500 so I'm not sure if it's going to make it to Amazon. I've got a copy of this coming from Bob Pearman (specialist in music and transportation books...your kind of guy!) - and he ships worldwide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It covers Liverpool Street, Stratford, Ilford and Temple Mills Yard, plus whats in between. Bishopsgate Goods Depot is in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best, Pete. Give him a call, Pete. Bob's a decent chap to deal with and I'm sure he would be more than happy sell you a copy and ship it out to the 'big apple'.

jwealleans Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 It's not on the site because he hasn't received it yet - I've just spoken to him. He had been told next week, but it seems it will be earlier than that if BD already has one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrushVeteran Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I would echo BD's comments here and yes I did drag him to the Book Law stand so he could buy one. I think it one of the best I have seen which encompasses most of the modelling periods and provides some suprisingly rare archive photos. Apparently the author, an ex.Stratford railwayman, is working on two more volumes, well done Book Law. I'm sure Book Law would ship to the 'States.

Brennan??? Best, Pete. Jim stays within the boundaries of Greater London, as that is his speciality as a Railway Historian. There may be (an)other book(s) in the series published by Middleton Press.

trisonic Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Just wanted to report that I got my copy from the hugely helpful "Book Law" just before Christmas. What a wonderful book this is. Superb photos included, many I have never seen before. It is about time that this subject matter was treated so well by publishers. Looking forward already to Part 2. Best, Pete.
