Dear Chris,
I received my copy of Neil Parkhouse's book "The Forest of Dean Railways and the Severn Railway Bridge" yesterday. As you wrote, it's an excellent book with lots of magnificent colour pictures. Again this was a very useful recommendation of yours. I have to say - all of your book recommendations are so great, I bought nearly every recommended one!
On top of that (because I'm just writing ) I read your whole CWM Bach and Tonfanau Camp threads with great interest and would like to thank you for awesome photographs and terrific craftmanship from which I draw lots of suggestions for my emerging Welsh themed (what else?) layout...
