Although we have had our book of the week promotion while RM Web was down it was only being posted via the World of Railways newsletter, so do sign up to that if you are not already on there.

 

This week we have chosen our best seller from the last seven days as our Book of the Week.

 

STEAM'S LAMENT Stanier & Ivatt Pacifics features at least two large landscape photographs of every one of the Lizzies and Duchesses during the period from 1948 to 1964, depicting a large number of livery variations, detail differences, workings, locations, nameplates. In fact, a real treasure trove for modellers and for those who just want to wallow in nostalgia.

 

144 Pages large format landscape black & white photographs HARDBACK

 

Don't forget when you order from Strathwood we give you a 100% money back no quibble guarantee on your purchase

This week's second-best seller after our volume on Stanier & Ivatt Pacifics has been STEAM'S LAMENT 4-6-0s on the Southern Region, featuring every one of the King Arthers, Lord Nelsons, Remembrance classes and a detailed look at the varieties of H15, and S15 classes along with the surviving Class T14 Paddleboxes that made it into British Railways days. Then we look at a wide variety of other 4-6-0s working onto the Southern Region during the 1948-1967 era. Aside from the Standards of course, we have representatives of Stars, Halls, Counties, Castles, Manors, Jubilees, Black Fives and B1s too.

 

A real treat for fans of the Southern Region with this large format landscape 208-page album. HARDBACK
