Series: Colonel Stephens Railways Today
Description:
The ‘Colonel Stephens’ network of eccentric and impecunious light railways have long held a fascination for railway enthusiasts, including those too young to remember their operation. This A4 softback album is the first in a two part series focussing on the two of the Colonels’ railways to have been preserved (coincidentally both in Kent), by well known railway writer and photographer Jonathan James. This first volume looks at the East Kent Railway, based a few miles to the north of Dover, and showcases what the volunteers there have achieved in their rebuilding efforts.

The performance of different types of train is assessed on the wide variety of routes on which they operated, giving the opportunity to see the impact of modernisation, first from steam to diesel, and latterly to the dedicated high speed lines of the Trains a Grande Vitesse (TGV).

Description:
The North Yorkshire Moors Railway is the UK’s leading heritage railway, carrying holidaymakers from the popular seaside resort of Whitby across the spectacular North Yorkshire Moors to the market town of Pickering. The line has been made famous by the TV programme ‘Heartbeat’, in which the station and village at Goathland features prominently as the fictional Aidensfield, and more recently by Channel 5’s ‘fly on the wall’ documentary ‘Yorkshire Steam Railway’. The author is not only a skilled photographer, but also a full time member of the railway’s staff, which gives him a unique ability to capture the behind the scenes activities on the railway.

Series: Britain's Miniature Railways
Description:
The simple and lightweight construction, with minimal land requirements, means that miniature railways can be quite ephemeral in nature. The author, a much published writer on the miniature railway scene, both in the UK and overseas, has put together this collection of 37 miniature railways from around the UK which are no longer with us. Each line has a chapter of its own, consisting of a brief outline of the line’s history and route, along with a selection of photographs which illustrate the character of the featured railway.
