Miniature Railway Album - England & Wales, less than One Foot Gauge

摘要

This is a follow-up album from prolific publisher Mainline & Maritime, the first having unsurprisingly covered miniature railways of more than one foot gauge. This edition features lines from 10(1/4)-inch gauge all the way down to model engineering club tracks of 5-inch and 3(1/2)-inch gauge. Basically it's a book that does what it says on the cover - each page features a large-format colour picture of a miniature line, accompanied by a fairly brief caption. The coverage is very wide, stretching right across the country and throwing up some interesting contrasts, such as the Northampton SME's raised track on one side of a spread and the temporary ground-level line laid for Galas at the Talyllyn Railway on the other. However there are one or two notable omissions, such as the fabled 9(1/2)-inch gauge Downs Railway.
