RMweb Premium Neil Posted November 4, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 4, 2015 I've just been tempted to part with thirty pounds for a book; those of you who know of my Yorkshire roots will know it must have been pretty special. It's a big, weighty volume, largely pictorial, with very few images that I've seen before. It sits well with the two CC Green, Wild Swan books on the Cambrian Coast lines. Whilst not aping the presentational format of those books it has a similar depth of coverage and the same air of quality. My copy came from Nick's Railway Stuff, my local railway book shop and dealer, full contact details here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Out of interest, does the book contain any decent shots of 7313 in the early 50s? She was one of only a few GWR Moguls to receive lined black livery but photos seem hard to come by. She was a Croes Newydd engine and a regular on this route during this period.

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted November 4, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 4, 2015 Fortunately without even obtaining my Christmas book list from Lightmoor I know this one is already in the bag for me following my son's visit to the Ian Allan shop in Mnachester while on his way to footie last weekend as he rang me with a list of titles and I chose the one I hadn't got already Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, but I'll take another look through with this in mind. Tough job but someone ......

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted November 4, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 4, 2015 I'll also keep an eye out for 7313, but my perusal of my copy is currently being eclipsed by the 'Book of the Millennium', namely the new Lightmoor colour album on the Forest of Dean railways, both copies having been bought from Not Jeremy and the excellent Titfield Thunderbolt bookshop.

RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted November 4, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 4, 2015 Got my copy from 'Not Jeremy' from his famous 'Thunderbolt' bookshop. A truly excellent tome. A few blurry snaps for your delectation! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Neil Posted November 5, 2015 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 5, 2015 I had a quick scan through before tea last night and I'm sorry to say that 7313 eluded me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigw Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I'll also keep an eye out for 7313, but my perusal of my copy is currently being eclipsed by the 'Book of the Millennium', namely the new Lightmoor colour album on the Forest of Dean railways, both copies having been bought from Not Jeremy and the excellent Titfield Thunderbolt bookshop. My copy (from the same source) is currently flying to Australia. Book - 30 GBP - airmail 29 GBP! I hope it is flying business class! Craig W Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenway Park Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 There is a photo of 7313 on page 122. Shunting at Corwen. The caption states 1960. The tender has a late BR crest so may not be of use to you. Further one on page 205 but too small to see details but date is 1960. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly 7313 went green with the late crest in 1957 (I have a photo of her ex-works) but thanks for checking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
