Sad news I have to relate – months ago Network Rail agreed in writing to sell me Brora station and we had virtually agreed a price when it suddenly did a U turn and said it would only grant me a lease.   I had made it quite clear that I was not interested in leasing after the last fiasco when it was only ready to grant a lease on impossibly onerous terms.    Costs of renovation were estimated as at least £80,000, and the Railway Heritage Trust had promised a very generous grant.   So the local community and I have lost the benefit of seeing this important listed building restored, and the undoing of the neglect of many years.

Titles expected in November:

A history of the British Steam Tram volume 5
David  Gladwin

A bibliography of British and Irish tramways
David Croft and myself

Works tramcars of the British Isles
David Voice.

New customers: please note that I always try and note serious defects, but not blemishes like inscriptions, odd handwritten notes, slight creasing/grubbiness/tears, dust spots, or rusty staples. Inevitably dustwrappers (d/w) are often worn at the edges. Also folded maps often have small tears at the folds, but again, I will note any more serious tears.  Postage is extra at cost, and there is no packing charge for second-hand material.   This list only represents a fraction of my stocks - please enquire about other titles.

Measurements I give for posters, plans, photographs etc. are approximate.

Abbreviations: dw = dustwrapper, pp = pages, pb or sb = paperback, hb = hardback, inc = includes.

Finally: If anyone is considering disposing of some or all of their collections, then distance is no object – I have an agent, John Wiltshire, tel: 01295 816963, in the south, near Banbury, who can travel to calls in England, while I can cover Scotland.

PLEASE NOTE THAT INTERNET EXPLORER DOESN’T DISPLAY NUMBERS OVER 999 CORRECTLY. The 1,000’s integer is missing. Firefox and Google Chrome get it right.
