Soft cover. Condition: Good. Reproduction of the 3rd ed. Large 8vo softback. 48pp typed sheets. Illus. A very flimsy reprint of a publication which was originally printed for private circulation & as a result virtually impossible to find. This ed. is becoming equally scarce. A well thumbed copy with the covers hanging on by the skin of their teeth. Some fxg. Tear with loss on front cvr. Internally OK. This is an account of the origin & evolution of the 15" gauge line at Duffield Bank, near Derby; also of the installation of a similar line at Eaton Hall, near Chester; together with various notes on the uses of such Railways, & on the results of some experimental investigations relating thereto. This copy belonged to the late Railway writer & historian Brian Hollingsworth with his signature at the head of the front cvr. He was a great narrow gauge enthusiast & built his own garden railway in Wales. Seller Inventory # 3755
