New Book on Southern Railway Booster Locomotives CC1 CC2 & 20003

[slilley]

Noodle Books have just announced the publication of a new book in April 2015 on the three Southern Railway booster locomotives CC1 CC2 and 20003.

This is the first time such a comprehensive look has been taken at these locomotives. We have drawn on archive material at the National Archives in Kew, the NRM, and the rail union ASLEF amongst others, to piece together the story of these unique locomotives.

Over 100 pages with illustrations and diagrams.

For full details, please follow the link below.

Simon - could you check your link please? (It takes me to the 2012 catalogue and I can't see any mention of this new book.)

I can't see any reference to a book about the Hornbys though.

Thanks for the replies.

I have been to the Noodle Books site and this is the link to page 10 of their current catalogue for 2014-2015.

Details of the book are on the lower half of page 10.

I have also re-added the link to my original post.

Just to give everyone a quick update, the proofs to the first two chapters have now arrived back from the publishers. I am going through them line by line to make sure that no glitches or gremlins have crept in.

Just to give you a quick progress update. The second set of proofs have now been reviewed and comments back to the publisher. Quite an effort but we think we have eliminated everything, but who knows.

On course for publication in late March I believe.

Best wishes

Just to say a big thank you to those of you that have bought the book so far. Sales have been really encouraging. It went on sale at the Alexandra Palace model railway show and had sold 182 copies by the Tuesday after. When I looked last week on Wednesday it was at no 4 in the Amazon railway book chart so obviously a few more have sold.

Thank you once again

Simon
