This is my 2nd book which was published in September 2008. The photos cover the blue era of the Western Region from 1976 to 1990. The locations covered are from Paddington to Bristol, South Wales, Somerset and Devon. The book covers loco hauled passenger and parcels trains, DMU's and a wide variety of freight services. In this photo collection is a copy of the front cover and a few photos which are not in the book but from the same period and area.
This is my first book which was released in September 2007. It contains photos taken from 1975 to 1985. The area covered is Southampton and the New Forest, it includes passenger, parcels and freight trains. Some of these photos here are taken from the book and others are from the same area.
BR Blue No2 will be covering the South and West area's of the Western region during the same period and will be published in September 2008.
The books are published by Kevin Robertson and available direct from his stand at Model Railway exhibitions which he attends or from his website at http://www.kevinrobertsonbooks.co.uk/index.html
I have had lots of interest from enthusiasts about the photos in my new book BR Blue No.1 Southampton and The New Forest. Here I have included some more photos of class 33's mostly from the same area including some in black and white.
Photos I have taken on the Brockenhurst to Lymington branch plus some Eastleigh - Lymington trains in the New Forest. All taken from the late 70's to today.
