About this title

Synopsis

The Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway is one of that special 'select' number of lines which evokes a particular thrill among rail enthusiasts. In itself, other than the stiff climbs through the Mendips from Bath to Evercreech Junction and the sylvan scenery through which the line passed, there was nothing to especially commend it to the enthusiast. However, with such stock as "Jinty" 0-6-OTs: 4F 0-6-0s: Johnson 0-4-4Ts: 2P 4-4-0s; Stanier "Black Fives' and the famous 7F 2-8-0s the route exhibited a totally different flavour to the norm. With such evocative trains as the 'Pines Express' and with Bulleid Pacifies also to be seen in latter years, the line was certainly not ordinary. In this volume Colin Judge and Chris Potts give a detailed coverage of the track layouts of the line and include many illustrations of the stations. An invaluable reference work which is a must for Somerset & Dorset fans.

Store Description

I have been an amateur book collector for over 30 years acquiring books covering a broad knowledge & topics over the years., which now numbers between 600 to a1,000 books. Sadly due to my wife's failing health I have decided to sell my collection. I mainly collect Railway/Transport/Military/nature and a large selection books of rare and a variety of non fiction material. Whether my books are rare or old almost all are in very good/as new condition, I will endeavour to lists all books to the exact description. I am at most times free to discuss any books, although due to being a full carer I may not answer my phone straight away but if you leave a forward number I will always reply to the call. I myself am now retired, I worked in passenger transport for just a little over 45 years both in the bus & Rail Industry achieving management status for the last seventeen years of my working career on the Railway. Working in passenger transport was something that i always wanted to do and was lucky enough to have achieved a career that gave me so much enjoyment. Apart from book collecting my other main hobby is gardening which helps me relax and reflect on my busy life being a full time carer for my wife of 49 years.
