Modeller’s Bookshelf
A selection of titles that have kept Model Rail’s editor occupied recently.
From Buxton in the north to Northampton in the south, this book presents an engaging mix of colour photographs of the East Midlands railway scene during the 1965‐1985 period. Blue and green diesels predominate, but the tail end of steam is also covered. The text provides plenty of useful information and there are some priceless images, from the dilapidated timber buildings at Pear Tree station, to the derelict brick-built John O’ Gaunt station on the former GN/LNWR joint line to Melton Mowbray, while many other locations provide endless inspiration for modellers.
