Mid-Hants Railway – From Construction to Closure 1865 – 1973
£14.95
Complete history of the now preserved line from Alton to Alresford. The full line was constructed between Winchester Junction and Alton in the 1860s and opened in 1865. This book traces the history of its construction with many rare photographs and plans. Description of services along the route including the early years through to the M7 push-pull years which lasted until 1957 and the introduction of the ‘Hampshire’ DEMUs. The book follows the struggle to keep the line open through the Beeching cuts period of the 1960s and later the culmination of hopes to retain the line which sadly ended with BR closure in 1973.

The Barry List No. 12 – Book
£4.95We are pleased to announce the latest edition of our famous Barry List which has become the ‘bible’ for heritage railways who have many of their steam fleet from this once ‘graveyard of steam’. This is the 50th anniversary issue 1973 – 2023.
Since the last edition, the eleventh edition, there have been many changes to the locomotives that escaped from Dai Woodhams’ yard at Barry. More have steamed into further service; many have changed locations; some have been scrapped to make way for new-build projects and dozens have now been withdrawn for overhauls.
‘The Barry List – Twelfth Edition’ details all of the changes up to date in April 2023; full list of locomotives saved from Woodham Brothers at Barry; those of the 213 saved which have steamed so far; where they are all located; those which will never steam again and those which have helped construct new-builds.

Saving of Settle Signal Box
£4.00The remarkable story of how Settle’s old 1891 signal box was moved from its location of over 100 years to nearer the station. The movement required special measures being put in place to make certain the structure was secure and steel bracing put around it. A 90-ton road crane was hired in to lift the box onto six trolleys positioned across the main Settle-Carlisle Line which was closed and in a possession for track work elsewhere along the route.
This is the photographic story of the movement in 1997 and the restoration of the signal box as seen by photographs by Roger Hardingham.
